Lyrics
I love chocolate, yes I do
I love chocolate, and I love you
I love chocolate, yes I do
I’ll share mine with you!
I take chocolate for my lunch
And a piece for the teacher too
She says apples are boring to munch
Chocolate makes her feel brand new
I love chocolate toothpaste
My mom says there's no waste
I love chocolate's great taste
My friends and I eat it face to face
Between Valentine and Hallowe'en
You've got the Easter Bunny too
So if you're very, very good
You can eat chocolate till you're blue

Audio Recordings
2024-12-09: These recordings were made in 2006, before I learned about how chocolate can kill animals. I have since removed that portion of the lyrics, and am working towards producting audio and video of the modified song. Stay tuned!
I redid the bass track of the 2006 recording. Baby steps.
I Love Cholocate_Bass_MIDI.mp3The 2006 recording.
I_Love_Chocolate_2006.mp3Recording the two small children’s contributions was quite enjoyable, as you can tell!
The original recording, recorded on the road in 1994, was pretty rough, so I did not post it here.
Change Log
2024-10-01 – I edited the lyrics, chopping verses, and moving others. A major change was the deletion of a verse that described feeding chocolate to pets. When I originally wrote the lyrics, I did not know that chocolate was poisonous to many animals.
Chocolate is derived from roasted seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree. The primary toxic principles in chocolate are the methylxanthines theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine) and caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine). Theobromine is toxic for cats and dogs and many other animals.
For many dogs, the most common clinical signs are vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst, panting or restlessness, excessive urination, and racing heart rate. In severe cases, symptoms can include cardiac arrhythmias, muscle tremors, and seizures.
Cats are unlikely to want to eat chocolate because they lack the ability to taste sweetness, unlike most other mammals, but you should still keep chocolate out of their reach because they are naturally curious.
