The things that make me happy now,
I count on just one pinky
So tell me how to deal with
The extinction of the Twinkie
I can cope with unemployment
And with rising wholesale pricing
As long as I have access
To some cake with choc’late icing
For if I’m feeling lowly
Here’s what gets me in the mood
A little creamy filling
And a lot of devil’s food
And when I’m on the money
And a compliment is paid me
I let me friends and fans know
It was Wonder Bread that made me
But the lawyers and the bakers
Are more radical than clever
And they’ve gone and killed a product
That we thought would last forever
Now the Ho-Ho and the Ding Dong
Have sailed off into the night
And I’m starting to consider
That the Mayans may be right
