Delight phene I am of yours You’re so sweet I get a toothache Just by looking at you You luscious Suzy-Q (Dog)

You are all caramel with a swirl of vanilla My thrilla manilla Swiss almond joy mocha The apple of my eye The pecan in my pie Hershey’s symphony You are to me That tastes so sweet A banana split that just won’t quit Who like his cram not stirred but whipped And a cherry not on the bottom but on the top That just won’t stop

You’re the banana in my pudding With vanilla wafers So creamy and delightful You make me consume it in one spoonful You’re like lemon meringue Such a sweet thang Are your lips when pressed against mine It’s only so much I can take When I know I can tear up an Eli’s Cheesecake The chocolate chunk of hunk you are Makes me melt like pralines ice cream within And hot! Like blueberry muffins

You’re a chocolate chip off the block I wish not to leave My chocolate dream My attack of the brownie fantasy My dessert Day and night You’re my Delicious Delight
