When I was a tiny pick
say just bout so years old,
the folks nicknamed me "Buddy"
that is so I have been told,
I spent most of my younger days
with Gran'mom and Gran'pop,
and Gran'ma used to always call me,
"Granny's Choc'late drop"
Now "Choc'late Drop" and "Buddy"
seemed to stick to me somehow,
then someone added "Bon Bon"
so here's what they call me now.

Bob Bon Buddy the Chocolate drop
Dat's me,
Bob Bon Buddy is all that I want to be
I've gained no fame
but I ain't 'shame I'm satisfied
with my nickname,
Bon Bon Buddy the chocolate drop,
Dat's me.

Bob Bon Buddy the Chocolate drop
Dat's me,
Bob Bon Buddy is all that I want to be
I've gained no fame
but I ain't 'shame I'm satisfied
with my nickname,
Bon Bon Buddy the chocolate drop,
Dat's me.

I think some times to myself,
you was a lucky boy,
to get a nice nick name
and then in Gran'ma's pride and joy,
there was one boy in our town,
they called him ugly Will,
there was another one I know
they called him stubborn Phil.
Then there was one called "Dummy Smith"
and one called "Baby Blue"
and they all used to tell me,
"Bud it's pretty soft for you.

Bob Bon Buddy the Chocolate drop
Dat's me,
Bob Bon Buddy is all that I want to be
I've gained no fame
but I ain't 'shame I'm satisfied
with my nickname,
Bon Bon Buddy the chocolate drop,
Dat's me.

Bob Bon Buddy the Chocolate drop
Dat's me,
Bob Bon Buddy is all that I want to be
I've gained no fame
but I ain't 'shame I'm satisfied
with my nickname,
Bon Bon Buddy the chocolate drop,
Dat's me.
