about

Slow and suggestive, culinary and cautionary
Acoustic guitar, percussion, vocals, and a mouth coronet

lyrics

Bittersweet
© 2015 The Squirrel Hillbillies

Mama called me Sugar Plum
And topped my bottle off with rum
That's how I got rotten teeth
And my taste for bittersweet

Cupboard full of pixy stix
'Frigerator on the fritz
A growing child has gotta eat
I got my fill of bittersweet

Bittersweet
Bittersweet
Before I even got my teeth
I got my taste for bittersweet

If you like your peaches ripe
And soaked in syrup overnight
Find yourself another shop
'Cause bittersweet is all I got

Milky chocolates in a box
Glass o' bubbly on the rocks
Did you miss the candy gram?
Bittersweet is who I am

Bittersweet
Bittersweet
Check your box of recipes
I'm under "B" for bittersweet

Bittersweet
Bittersweet
Lord knows I’m no beauty queen
With my skinny bones and rotten teeth
But you can have a piece of me
If what you crave is bittersweet
