I've heard Moira Craig sing it now and then but I'd love to have the words.

10 Apr 01 - 10:33 AM (#437322) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: chocolate From: Gervase Jude, I've got an incomplete set - here goes: When you're tired and depressed and feeling lonely, When your chequebook's in the red and you feel blue; When you're glad the XXX are open or your rubber band is broken, Or you drop the toilet paper down the loo. When you're feeling such an urge to wash the steak knives, Or to sniff at the exhaust pipe of your car; Or to farewell all your friends and take a nap inside the oven, Stop! Salvation's just a suck from where you are. When you're feeling down the best way up is chocolate, It's the answer that will get you through the day. Let me get my teeth around something small and square and round And I'll masticate until I feel OK. Now when God had finished making all the heavens, And the mountains and the valleys and the seas, And the weather and the weevils, and the squid and German measles, And the gherkins and the cockles and the fleas, On the seventh day when He was sitting resting; He was feeling in a very chipper mood. then came one last inspiration for one final last creation; Something fit to please a god that could be chewed. When I see a bar of chocolate lying idle It always seems to find its way inside my jaws. It tastes better in than out, it's a shame to mess about, for it's going to a very worthy cause. And although it won't endear me to my dentist And my doctor will be fearful for my health, And it's given me a skinful of enormous oily pimples, I'm still feeling very good about myself. That's the version I got from Moira, but someone sat on the mike at the crucial moment, so there are a few dubious bits! |

08 May 01 - 07:18 AM (#457701) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: chocolate From: Gervase Animaterra, PM me with your e-mail address and I'll mail you an MP3 of a large part of the song (I'm no good at tadpoles on telegraph wires or MIDI or such-like, I'm afraid). |
02 May 02 - 08:27 PM (#703274) Subject: Lyr Add: CHOCOLATE (Marcus Turner) From: Jim Dixon This version has 2 more verses than the one posted by Gervase, and is different in a few other details. I've marked the differences with boldface. It's labeled a "New Zealand song." Lyrics copied from http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~dexy/music/chocolat.txt NOTE: There is allegedly an ABC file that contains tunes for this and many other songs at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~dexy/music/ but I didn't try to download it. I'll leave that to someone who is knowledgeable about using ABC.
CHOCOLATE
When you're tired and depressed, and feeling lonely,
CHO: When you're feeling down, the best way up is chocolate:
Now, when God had finished making all the heavens,
When I see a bar of chocolate lying idle,
Just remember, if it's chocolate, you can eat it:
You will never have a bad trip eating chocolate.

03 May 02 - 04:28 PM (#703857) Subject: Lyr Add: I LOVE CHOCOLATE (Zeke Hoskin) From: Stewart Here's Zeke's song: I LOVE CHOCOLATE - Zeke Hoskin CHORUS I love chocolate, I love you I hope you'll never prove untrue But I'll have chocolate if you do I can count on chocolate. Father never seemed to make enough to feed his children steak But Mom churned out that chocolate cake, chocolate made my childhood Chocolate is so action-packed it makes those children hyperact But too much speed is what I lack, Grown-ups 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 Careless love can break your heart, God knows smoking isn't smart Too much beer can make you fat, nothing's safe but chocolate How do you know that Easter's here? Chocolate bunnies do appear If Christ had risen twice that year, we could have more chocolate If your husband's youth is spent, his get-up-and-go has went Chocolate straightens what is bent, feed your husband chocolate Some of you might think this song is short on meaning and much too long And I'm not gonna say you're wrong, let's go have some chocolate OPTIONAL VERSES - PLEASE DON'T SING THEM ALL EVERY TIME If your waistband's getting tight and dieting is such a fight You can curb your appetite: precede each meal which chocolate Young folks doubt that those above forty-five years old can love Sex, of course, we don't dream of but we can still love chocolate Now that xxxx is nnnnty-five, we're so glad that (s)he's alive It makes a great excuse to drive to xxxx's house for chocolate Monica thought she'd go far until she ran across Ken Starr He caught her smoking Bill's cigar - she should have stuck with chocolate Canadian women have it tough, do without some vital stuff A survey says they don't get enough . . . . . . chocolate Americans cut down, I hear, to less than five pounds each per year It shows that when you drink weak beer you lose your taste for chocolate Cheers, S. in Seattle |
