The Golden Age Of Chocolate

(Fmaj7)Once upon a (Bbmaj7)choc'late time a (Fmaj7)long,

long choc'late (F#dim7)time ago, the (Gm7)Golden Age of (C9sus4)Choc'late (Dm7)began.

I know 'cause I was (C7)there.

(Fmaj7)When it comes to (Bbmaj9)choc'late, he's a (Fmaj7)many flavored (D7)man,

you know, 'cause (Bbm6)that's the age of choc'late he (Eb9)ran with oh such style and (D7)flair!

(F7)And the (Bbmaj7)Golden Age of (C)Choc'late has (Am7)lasted all these (D7)years,

the (Gm(maj7))Golden stage of (C9)Choc'late that (F)ev'ry (Gm7)child (Dm7)reveres.

But (Bm7)soon I'll be (E7)retiring to make (Am7)way for someone (D9sus4)new,

(D9)some (G13)bright spark (B)I'll be (G7)hiring,

but (C7sus4)who?

(C7)But (C7sus4)who?

(C7)But (Caug)who?

But (C7sus4)who?

(C)(A7sus4)Whatever your opinion is (Dm)about me,

(Dm7)the (G9)choc'late world cannot survive (C#7)without me.

(C9)There'd be no more (Gm7)choc'late ripples or (C9sus4)choc'late (C9)tipples,

(F6)choc'late (Gm7)ruffles or (F6)choc'late (Dm7)truffles, (Gm7)choc'late kisses for (C9sus4)sweet young (C9)misses,

(F6)soft and (Gm7)creamy, (F6)completely (Dm7)dreamy, or (Gm7)choc'late (C7)ices,

'cause (F9)choc'late's crises will (Bbmaj7)grow and (Eb13)grow and (Am7)grow (Db7)the (Gm7)day that I (G9)retire,

(C9)I (F6)know!

No, (Eb9)no, no, (D7sus4)no!

(Db7)No, (Gm7)Willy Wonka (G9)just (C9)can't (F)go!

(F)There'd be no (Abdim7)more (Gm7)choc'late squiggles or (C9sus4)choc'late (C9)giggles,

(F6)choc'late (Gm7)whirlies or (F6)choc'late (Dm7)swirlies, (Gm7)choc'late twirlies for (C9sus4)all you (C9)girlies,

(F6)choc'late (Gm7)bagels or (F6)choc'late (Dm7)bugles or (Gm7)choc'late (C7)bubbles,

'cause (F9)choc'late's troubles will (Bbmaj7)grow and (Eb13)grow and (Am7)grow (Db7)the (Gm7)day that he (G9)retires,

(C9)we (F6)know!

No, (Eb9)no, no, (D7sus4)no!

(Db7)No, (Gm7)Willy Wonka (G9)just (C9)can't (F)go!

(F)There'd be no (Abdim7)more (G9)just (C9)can't (F)go!

(F)'Cause the (Bbmaj7)Golden Age of (C)Choc'late has (Am7)lasted all these (D7)years,

the (Gm(maj7))Golden stage of (C9)Choc'late that (F)ev'ry (Gm7)child (F9sus4)reveres.

There's a (Bbmaj9)Golden (Bb6)Age of (C)Choc'late hist'ry (Am7)we must write (D9sus4)somehow (D9)for the (Gm)(Gm(maj7))Golden (Gm7)Age of (G7sus4)Choc'late to make (C9sus4)life sweeter (F)now!
