Soda Pop

Gimme cola on the rocks, with just a splash of lime –

Or make it Orange Crush to help me wash away the grime.

Seven Up, or Bubble Up, or maybe Moutain Dew –

Anything that's fizzy, with a chemical tattoo!

Take your snooty sommelier and all those neat liqueurs

And send 'em packing – I want belching that I know endures.

Red crème soda, or a tonic from old Dr. Brown –

And who can ever duplicate the flavor of Royal Crown?

Sure it's full of sugar and frenetic carbonation;

Sure it has no alcohol to start intoxication.

So I gain a little weight by sipping from a can

Of Fanta while my arteries turn into stiff rattan –

Drink your coffee or your tea, but do not put a muzzle

On my lust for some Jarritos to securely guzzle!
