Better Than Anything

Better than cream cheese and bagels
Better than honey on bread
Better than champagne and pretzels
Better than breakfast in bedBetter than chili rellenos
Better than chocolate eclairs
Better than hothouse tomatoes
Better than fresh bartlett pearsBetter than dining a la carte
Or simply gastronomic art
Better than anything except being in loveBetter than making a million
Better than being a queen
Better than oil wells and gold mines
Better than pastures of greenBetter than finding a horseshoe
Better than losing your head
Better than anything ever thought of
Better than anything ever saidAh, ha better than singing right out loud
Or being ha, spotted in a crowd
Better than anything except being in loveBetter than elephants, elephants are dancing
Better than clowns on parade
Better than peanuts and popcorn
Better than pink lemonadeBetter than rides on the midway
Better than seals blowing horns
Better than men shot through cannons
Better than fresh ears of cornAh, better than balancing on a wire
Or watching tigers jump through fire
Better than anything except being in loveBetter than driving 'round the park
Or watching fireflies after the dark
Better than anything except being in loveHey, Diana? Yeah?
Are you sure that love is even better than shopping?
Well, there's a little sale on late floor up at Barneys
But it's still betterOh, come on, come on
What about that thirty percent sale at Jimmy Chu's
And Sak's Fifth Avenue Friends and Family Day? Ha?
Still betterWell, maybe close second
Very close second
Better, more better
Better, better, better
