  10. Chocolate Maniac I love my mother I love my dad, I love my brother, Through he drives me mad. My teacher? She is fine and dandy. But I really love My chocolate candy. I eat it when it's hot, I eat it when it's cold, I eat it when it's fresh, And I eat it when it's old.

  11. I eat it by the ounce, I eat it by the pound, I eat it at the table, And I eat it off the ground. I eat it and I eat it Till my belly's going to pop, Then I eat a little more -- I don't know how to stop.

  12. I love that chocolate taste, Oh, so gooey, sweet, and thick, But I've eaten way too much And I feel a little sick. I have got to learn to stop, I have got to take control. I'll give chocolate up forever . . . WHEN I'M 99 YEARS OLD!
