How Sweet It Is
It was a grand wake up call for many
When in the seventies on the big screen
We watched the movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar
The message of caution was unmistakably strong
On the rocky road to Hot Tamales
Going out each payday to discotheques
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Under the lights of the Milky Way
Here there anywhere in our galaxy
Like on a spree or marathon picking up willy nilly
Nerds, air heads, smarties, all losers bar none
Just looking for a tootsie roll or two on fifth avenue
Those days are long gone
Now a chocolate fix is all we crave
