Chocolatta,
Scotta chocolatta,
Bevo bevo bevo choco-chocolatta,
Bevo bevo bevo tanto,
Scotta chocolatta.

Hotta hotta chocolatta,
Flip a dip a whippa cream
In the middle of a
Hotta hotta chocolatta,
Pick 'er up and drink 'er down!

Square cake , round cake,
Piece of pound cake,
Grab a chunk
And dunk a hunk
In the middle of a
Hotta hotta chocolatta,
Pick 'er up and drink 'er down!

When you're goin' loco,
You're out of your cocoa,
Go down to the old jukery spot,
And you gotta 
Drink a lotta
Hotta hotta chocolatta,
Flip a dip a whippa cream
In the middle of a
Hotta hotta chocolatta,
Pick 'er up and drink 'er down!

Scotta scotta chocolatta,
Scotta tutto che nel petto.
Una cotta che micotta scotta chocolatta,
La mia scotta va passa.
Matta matta sono matta,
Piu un lot-oh.
Che del lato diletto tutti,
Loco loco sant sepolcre.
Piu non c'entro di compao.

When you're goin' loco,
You're out of your cocoa,
Go down to the old jukery spot,
And you gotta 
Drink a lotta
Hotta hotta chocolatta,
Flip a dip a whippa cream
In the middle of a
Hotta hotta chocolatta,
Pick 'er up and drink 'er down!

Chocolatta,
Scotta chocolatta,
Bevo bevo bevo tanto chocolatta,
Bevo bevo bevo tanto scotta chocolatta,
Drink a cup of hotta chocolatta!
