Creme tangerine and Montélimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge--really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're gonna know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You'll shout aloud

You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour--
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?..

Creme tangerine and Montélimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know its good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Yes, you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

STORY BEHIND THE SONG (SAVOY TRUFFLE)
By now, George was seeing a lot of Eric Clapton and 'Savoy Truffle' was a playful song about Clapton's love of chocolate. This habit contributed to Clapton's tooth decay and George was warning him that one more soft-centered chocolate and he'd have to have his teeth pulled out.

The song's lyric is made up of the exotic names then given to individual chocolates in Mackintosh's Good News a__ortment such as Creme Tangerine, Montelimart, Ginger Sling and Coffee Dessert. Savoy Truffle was another authentic name, whereas Cherry Cream and Coconut Fudge were invented to fit the song.

Derek Taylor helped with the middle eight by suggesting the t__le of a film he'd just seen called You Are What You Eat which was made by two American friends, Alan Pariser and Barry Feinstein. It didn't scan properly so George changed it to 'you know that what you eat you are'.
