Parody of the famous song by the great duo Simon & Garfunkel. Enjoy and please review!
Hello chocolate my old friend
I've come to eat a bar again
Because a craving softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was eating
And the wanting it has planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of candy

In restless nights I looked alone
Through every cupboard that I own
'Neath the halo of my dim lamp
I found chocolate that I saved from camp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of the kitchen light
Blinding my eyes
From the sound of candy

And in the kitchen light I saw
My roommate looking for a straw
Because a drink he was drinking
But then he had started thinking
"I'll get a straw from downstairs"
"No one will care"
Stopping the sound of candy

"Fool," said he, "you do not know"
"About the stash of ice cream cones,"
"Hear my words and I will tell you,"
"Take my arms that I might show you."
He clearly did not know that I wanted
The sound of candy

And that was when I had to say
"I only wanted some candy."
Then I opened up the wrapping
And then he began opening
His own, personal ice cream cone
Then I was left alone
With just the sound of candy

If you care to listen to the actual song, I will link three versions of the song below
