The Lyrics

I just noticed the familar sound between the two words: Tipperary and Ghirardelli and I continued to write the song from there.
I once was in grocer store a-browsing through the aisles
Moving round the crafts and walking on the white side tiles
Till I got in line and I waited for my purchased summed
Then I heard the man in front; and this is what he hummed:

(refrain)
It's a long way to Ghirardelli's
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Ghiradelli's
To the darkest chocolate known!
Farewell! oh Hershey Chocolate!
Hello Single Squares!
It's a long long way to Ghiradelli's
But my hearts right there!

As I drove along the road, the words, they crossed my mind
Couldn't help but feeling that I was to sulk and pine
For well I knew the truth in those; upon my deepest fears
And I drove a-speeding I sang them though my tears:


(refrain)

Suddenly a burst of light came flashing though my screen
I see's the copper coming in his auto built machine
He comes up to me and see's the chocolate in me hand
And me and him together started singing this here strand:

(refrain)

So now I am patron man who browses scented sweets
With a keener sharper eye that beholdens the best treats
For Ghirardelli's is the best and this I swears no lie
Because of Ghirardelli's taste I sing this with a sigh:

(refrain)

Garrett - Tastefully done. Forget Rice-A-Roni...Ghirardelli is the REAL San Francisco treat! ;D

My tastes run to the rare and elusive Nestlé Aero bar. But Ghirardelli squares are certainly worth singing about, too. I might run out and buy some tonight.
