Sweet Tooth
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy My sweet tooth craves something Sugary in my tummy I don’t want to let hunger happen to me But my break is almost over and I just can’t decide There’s that Whatchamacallit sitting on my desk But I need to break out of the ordinary And maybe taste the rainbow Standing in…
