Manila Vanilla

Oh the milkshakes in Manila are a wonderful treat A pretty Filipina is a party complete The strawberry, blackberry, and blueberry cream Are second to vanilla in a dewberry dream Now the seashore in Manila is a beautiful place The lingering vanilla is a dab on your face You order second helpings for a lovable flirt Because she loves vanilla when you offer dessert Oh the milkshakes in Manila hit a wonderful spot I always like vanilla when the climate is hot The girlfriends are friendly when you offer a cone But don’t you mind the trouble when they get you alone Now the sailors in Manila are a snaggletooth sort They favor their vanilla in a haggle-free port They like to catch the ladies in a lovable swoon Or marry some vanilla to a strawberry spoon Oh the milkshakes in Manila are a creamy delight I like to drink a couple when the weather is right The tidal waves are winking by the soles of my feet To drink the star’s vanilla in a milky way teat.
