Although parts of the song are stupid, such as the quoted lyric above, and basically all the lyrics (which I do believe are all completely literal), musically it is a decent song.
Someone left the cake out in the rain, (a couple was traveling cross-country in 2 cars, when they left the park each of them thought the other had the bayby, neither did, baby died)
and I don't think that I can take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it, (9 months)
and I'll never have that recipe again. (each child is unique)

It's stupid Bush's fault that the cake was left out in the rain.

You think it's a metaphor? Because I'm pretty sure it's literal.

Seriously, as a literal sentence it's stupid, but as a metaphor, it's beyond obtuse.

It is a metaphor. Cake=infant.
