I’m a Chocolate Girl
With Chocolate Dreams
And Chocolate Curls
Holding on to My Chocolate Pearls 

Pearls that Have Been
Handed Down from
A Chocolate Mystery
We call it Ancestry 

Pearls of Chocolate Wisdom
Some Bitter, Some Sweet
Sometimes Layered in Boxes
Lined up Very Neat 

I’m a Chocolate Girl
With Chocolate Dreams
With Chocolate Burdens
And Chocolate Screams 

Through Chocolate is Delicious
It can Sometimes Make You Burst
Cause for Some too Much Chocolate
Can Really Hurt 

You must Overstand Chocolate
Why it Sometimes comes in Swirls
Cause their Pearls were Stolen
Before they came into This World

Sometimes, Chocolate comes Burden
With too much Filling
The World will take a Bite of It
Then Throw It away
And You Know that can be Chilling 

Now that Bitten piece of Chocolate
Is Wounded and Unattended
Leaving It to become Deformed
And Unmended 

I’m a Chocolate Girl
With Chocolate Dreams
With Chocolate Plans
Living in a Multi Flavored Land 

Now this Mighty Assortment
Can’t always Agreed
But we’re here Together
That’s the way it’s Gotta be

Don’t Judge Me for being Chocolate
And I won’t Judge Your Flavor
With our Different tastes
And Sweet Aromas
For each of Us there is a Place 

Now in this Big Pretty Package
We call Home
Every Flavor
Should have the Right to Rome 

So, since We’re All Together
In this Place
Let’s just Love Each Other
For Love’s Sake 

I’m a Chocolate Girl
With Chocolate Dreams
And Chocolate Curls
Holding on to My Chocolate Pearls
