Savoy Truffle
Beatles · The Beatles (The White Album)
a ginger sling with a pineapple heart
a coffee dessert yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel you taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
You might not feel it now
but when the pain cuts through
you're gonna know and how
The sweat is gonna fill you head
when it becomes too much, you'll shout aloud
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
You know that what you eat you are
but what is sweet now turns so sour
We all know ob-bla-di-bla-da
but can you show me where you are
Creme tangerine and montelimar
a ginger sling with a pineapple heart
a coffee dessert yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
Yes, you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
