Budweiser

Soprano solo:
When you say Bud, you've said a lot of things nobody else can say.
When you say Bud, you've gone as far as you can go to get the very best.

Soprano/Tenor duet:
When you say Bud, you've said the word that means you like to do it all.
When you say Bud, it means you want the beer that's got a taste that's number one.

Chorus:
When you say Bud, you tell the world you know what makes it all the way.
When you say Bud, you say you care enough to only want the king of beers.
There is no other one; there's only something less,
Because the king of beers is leading all the rest.
When you say Budweiser,

Soprano solo:
 you've said it all.


Chiquita Banana

"Hello, amigo"

I'm Chiquita banana, and I've come to say
Bananas have to ripen in a certain way
And when they're flecked with brown and have a golden hue
Bananas taste the best and are the best for you

You can put them in a salad, you can put them in a pie-aye
Any way you want to eat them, it's impossible to beat them
But bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator

To have bananas that are fully ripe you must be absolutely sure
To take them home and let them ripen in an indoor temperature.

(Oh sure, sure, sure)

Dr Pepper

I drink Dr. Pepper and I'm proud.
I used to be alone in a crowd,
But now you took around these days,
there seems to be a Dr. Pepper craze

I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?

I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper,
If you drink Dr. Pepper, you're a Pepper, too

Us Peppers are an interesting breed,
an original taste is what we need.
Ask any Pepper and he'll say,
Only Dr. Pepper tastes that way.

I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper,
she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper,
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?

I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper,
she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper,
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?

Be a Pepper, drink Dr. Pepper, [etc]
