Thread Name: Lyr Req: about Frango mints? / Chocoholic Waltz
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Searching for song about Frango mints
Here's my transcription from the video at YouTube:


THE CHOCOHOLIC WALTZ
Words and music by Richard and Barbara Lemmon
As sung by Richard Lemmon

1. I'll never forget my first Whitman's Sampler.
From that moment on I was hooked.
Now I can't get enough of that dark gooey stuff.
I don't care if it's cold or cooked.

CHORUS: 'Cause I'm a chocoholic.
I don't crave whiskey or wine.
Give me a double Godiva or a tall Ghirardelli
Or a Toblerone I can call mine.*

2. One night I was driving home from a party.
I had one too many, I guess.
The officer took me downtown and he booked me.
I had chocolate mousse on my breath. CHORUS

3. If you see one morning and I'm in the gutter,
And you ask me if I am all right,
I will tell you, "My friend, I did it again.
I really got Frango'd last night." CHORUS

4. Oh, I try to swear off, but I never get far.
I never know where or when
I might belly up to a big Hershey bar
And get loco on cocoa again. CHORUS TWICE


[* On alternate choruses, substitute "any old time."]
