Chocolate (can`t help it)
It calls from the place where it may lie
Even if it’s not visible to the eye
It’s no matter what time of day
Or whether you`re at work or play
It always seems to sooth the mood

Within my belly I carry them all
Life within me does explode
No matter how much I can take the load
