Lyrics
- At twelve oclock last night
I gently dimmed my light
Then I fell into a slumber
I had a dream so rare
And I know you’ll declare
It was a marvelous wonder
Choc’late Bon Bons gave a ball
For the Candies one and all
Chorus
Dancing at that Choc’late Bon Bon Ball
Prancing ’round that Sugar Coated hall
Adams with a Black-Jack in his hand lead the band
Some young fellow called Marshmellow
Played a mean and wicked cello
Brandy Drops were passed around in jars
When they opened up those “almond Bars”
And a Lolly-Pop let Miss Lemon Drop
At the Choc’late Bon Bon Ball
- Those Choc’late Coated Butts
And those Assorted Nuts
Made love to Old Fashion Taffy
A little Jelly Bean
And Mister Walnut Cream
Acted as though they were daffy
Fast asleep I’d love to fall
Just to dream about that ball
Chorus
Dancing at that Choc’late Bon Bon Ball
Prancing ’round that Sugar Coated hall
Goodness how that Listerated Gum beat the drum
Cute Miss Little PeaNut Brittle
Played a jazz upon her fiddle
When the break of day began to peep
Old Rock Candy rocked them all to sleep
Misses Juicy Fruit tore her Wrigley Suit
At the Choc’late Bon Bon Ball
