Savoy Truffle

George Harrison

By John T.  Marck

One of my favorite songs by George, for two reasons. First, I love chocolate, and second, it's a really cool song. Harrison wrote in as a playful tribute to his close friend Eric Clapton, who was a chocoholic. George saw a box of chocolates at Clapton's house, where the cover read, Mackintosh's Good News Double Centre Chocolate Assortment. Upon checking out the names of the various chocolates, George decided to write the song. All the names used in the lyrics were authentic from Mackintosh's, except cherry cream and coconut fudge, which George made up to fit the song.

Creme tangerine and montelimat,

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 montelimat, 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
