lyrics

In the midst of a five hour meeting
Somewhere around hour two or three
My eyes start glazing over
And I’m breathing quite shallowly
As I pretend to comprehend
My grip starts to slip on reality

Chocolate, must have chocolate
If I don’t get some soon I won’t survive
Chocolate, lovely chocolate
Sometimes it’s all that’s keeping me alive

When the telephone rings during mealtimes
And they say that my payment is late
And the money’s all gone ‘til the end of the month
And I beg them, abjectly, to wait
As I groan and hang up the phone
The moment has come to self-medicate

Chocolate, must have chocolate
If I don’t get some soon I won’t survive
Chocolate, lovely chocolate
Sometimes it’s all that’s keeping me alive

Choclit choclit choclit choclit

Chocolate cake with butter cream
Cocoa drunk with warm ecstatic sips
And when you’re out of other forms
Handfuls…of chocolate chips!

When someday after dreaming
You wake up in a sweat
And it’s one of those dreams where the faster you go
The further behind you get
The only way is not to delay
Run, walk or crawl to the kitchen cabinet
Drag yourself over to the cabinet
There’s only one cure that you won’t regret

Chocolate, must have chocolate
If I don’t get some soon I won’t survive
Chocolate, lovely chocolate
Sometimes it’s all that’s keeping me alive
