Strawberries and Cream
I think God was surely at His most supreme
At the time He created strawberries and cream.
It is not of diamonds and gold that I dream,
But of all I can eat of strawberries and cream.
It's my favorite treat, and I'm wondering now,
Did first come the berries and then come the cow?
What ever the order, they make a great team
The sun-drenched strawberries and rich, Jersey cream.
My mouth starts to water, my eyes brightly gleam,
Whenever I think of strawberries and cream.
I'll hold my darling in highest esteem,
If he'll but provide me strawberries and cream.
A food for the god's it surely would seem,
They can dine every day on strawberries and cream.
But even the poor if they're willing to glean
Can have their full share of strawberries and cream.
Strawberries and cream, strawberries and cream.
I never will tire of strawberries and cream.
