THE CHOCOLATE SONG
(Zeke Hoskin 1990)

Father never seemed to make
Enough to feed his children steak
But Mom turned out that chocolate cake;
Chocolate made my childhood.

CHORUS:
I love chocolate, I love you,
I hope you never prove untrue;
But I'll have chocolate if you do -
I can count on chocolate.

Chocolate is so action packed,
Makes some children hyperact;
Too much speed is what I lack -
Grownups need more chocolate.

Dogs love chocolate, don't know why;
Speeds their hearts up till they die.
Vet bill's gonna make you cry:
Don't let dogs have chocolate.

How d'ya know that Easter's here?
Chocolate bunnies do appear.
If Christ had risen twice that year
We could have more chocolate.

Some say growing old's the pits,
Balding heads and sagging hips [tits]
But chocolate doesn't give you zits:
I'll trade my youth for chocolate.

Careless love can break your heart,
God knows smoking isn't smart,
Too much beer can make you ... fat:
Nothing's safe but chocolate.

If your husband's strength is spent,
His get up and go has went;
Chocolate straightens what is bent -
Feed your husband chocolate.

If your waist band's getting tight,
Dieting is out of sight;
Try this curb for appetite:
Preceed each meal with chocolate.

Some of you may think this song
Is short on meaning and too damn long;
I'm not going to say you're wrong.
Let's go have some chocolate.
