Tom (singing): I fell into a vat of chocolate. I fell into a vat of chocolate...
Dick (singing): What’d you do when you fell in the chocolate?
Both: La dee doo dum la dee doo dum day...
Tom (singing): I yelled ‘fire’ when I fell into the chocolate...
Dick (annoyed, singing): Why’d you yell ‘fire’ when you fell into the chocolate?
Tom: I yelled ‘fire’ cause no one would help me if I yelled ‘Chocolate!’
Both: La dee doo dum la dee doo dum day.
Tom and Dick Smothers, from ‘Chocolate,’ on The Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers LP.[i]
