Chips dipped in cheese are such a treat,
I never get enough to eat.
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
I wouldn’t say I’m greedy, but
For chicken, steak, or casserole,
It’s hard to practice self-control.
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
I wouldn’t say I’m greedy, but
When no warm buttered rolls are left,
The loss of them leaves me bereft.
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
I wouldn’t say I’m greedy, but
When pizza’s all gone but one slice,
I have no thought of being nice.
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
I wouldn’t say I’m greedy, but
When cake or pie is chocolate,
Then even if I’m full or not,
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
I wouldn’t say I’m greedy, but
For doughnuts that are inside gooey
And cookies that are crisp or chewy,
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
I wouldn’t say I’m greedy, but
Red velvet pancake, cream-cheese iced,
With mocha latte's awfully nice.
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
I wouldn’t say I’m greedy, but
When candy’s in a bar or box,
Dark chocolate is the kind that rocks.
I just keep wanting more, more, more.
But I can be quite generous,
For when the choice is brussel sprouts
Or possum stew or braised pig snouts,
I’ll let you have them—all, all, all.
