How Sweet It Is

I’m just a Jolly Rancher and my land
is all I have. There is no shopping Spree
that I can give you, nor 100 Grand.
I’d love to give you all the Galaxy,
but for Now and Later, I’m just a man -
a Chunky Butterfinger, that is me,
but with each Rocky Road, I know I can
provide what’s most important, and that’s love.
The man most qualified, Bar None, am I,
to satisfy your cravings, my sweet Dove,
No Snickers, please. I’m easy to make cry!
Your Mr. Good Bar I will be. Oh, please
say yes, so I can get off my sore knees!
