At the Chocolate Bon Bon Ball
Performed by Leon Redbone
At 12 o' clock last night
I gently dimmed my light
Then I fell into a slumber
I had a dream so rare
I know you'll declare
It was a marvelous wonder
Chocolate bon bons gave a ball
For the candies one and all
Dancing at the chocolate bon bon ball
Prancing round that sugar coated hall
Adam with the black jack in his hand, led the band
Some young fellow called Marshmallow
Played the mean and wicked cello
Candy drops the world around us showered
When they opened up those almonds bars
And the Lollipop met Miss Lemon Drop
At the Chocolate Bon Bon Ball
Those chocolate coated butts
And those assorted nuts
Made love to Old Fashioned Taffy
A little jelly bean
And Mr. Walnut Cream
Acted as tho they were daffy
Fast asleep I'd love to fall
Just to dream about that Ball
Dancing at that Chocolate Bon Bon Ball
Prancing round that sugar coated hall
Goodness how that licorated gum beat the drum
Cupid's little peanut brittle
Played the jazz upon her fiddle
When the break of day began to peep
Old Rock Candy rocked them all to sleep
Mrs. Juicy Fruit tore her Wrigley suit
At the Chocolate Bon Bon Ball!
This is one of my favorite Leon Redbone songs of all time! Thank you for posting it.
