...These might be my best lyrics ever.

I had another "Eureka" moment; that's two in two weeks. Granted this one's a bit different and I didn't get the whole thing at once, but... Have a look at it. It's about somethin' that's been important to me since I was jus' a little tyke, knee-high to a grasshopper... And if any self-respectin' Texan/southerner doesn't know what this is about I'll take my banjo to his head!

 

Nectar of the Gods

 

Have yourself a sit, son

And I'll sing you quite a song

'Bout the nectar of the gods,

I swear it won't take very long

It's all the greatest things in life

Condensed into a drink

I see you've already taken a seat

So let me tell ya what I think

 

Now it surely is the greatest thing

Ever conceived by man,

Yes it single-handedly justifies

The existence of the can

So have a drink or two or ten

'Cause it's bound to quench your thirst

What harm could drinkin' too much do?

A little diabeetus at the worst

 

Good ol' number 23

Yes that's the drink for me,

You can have one at 10, 2 and 4

If you're limitin' yourself to three

It's the best damn thing invented

Since the dawn of history

So c'mon let's hear

One, two, three cheers for number 23!

 

Now it may be made in Dublin

But it ain't whiskey or the like

Y'take one sip and you might jus' {censored}

Your pants in sheer delight

It's sweet enough to please the gods

I swear this beverage changed my life

The first girl I ever shared one with

Well, now that gal's my wife

 

Good ol' number 23

Yes that's the drink for me,

You can have one at 10, 2 and 4

If you're limitin' yourself to three

It's the best damn thing invented

Since the dawn of history

So c'mon let's hear

One, two, three cheers for number 23!

 

I tell you what, it's testament

To the surefire glorious thought

That Texas is the best place

This here world has ever wrought

I'd surely climb the highest mountain

For just a sip, I surely know

It'd prolly flow from Valhall's fountains

If they'd had it so long ago

 

Now it surely is the greatest thing

Ever conceived by man,

Yes it single-handedly justifies

The existence of the can

So have a drink or two or ten

'Cause it's bound to quench your thirst

What harm could drinkin' too much do?

A little diabeetus at the worst

 

Good ol' number 23

Yes that's the drink for me,

You can have one at 10, 2 and 4

If you're limitin' yourself to three

It's the best damn thing invented

Since the dawn of history

So c'mon let's hear

One, two, three cheers for number 23!

As evidenced by some of the other posts, non-southerners don't appreciate the beauty that is DP. For those of you not in Texas, people drive for many miles to visit the home plant of Dr Pepper, as you can get bottles of the stuff there made with real honest to God sugar, not corn syrup. Good stuff, man. That song should go over well with local crowds, though. Nice. Real DP is one thing I do miss about Texas. Then I think about fire ants and all is well again...
