Cherry Phosphate

Now move y'self out from behind that counter, I'll show you how to mix this treat,
Got ourselves a whole mess o' people that been waiting to taste somethin' sweet.
This recipe been 'round for ages; you'll find ingredients 'bout anywheres you look,
But it take special kind of blendin'  if you want your concoction to have that hook.
Ain't just anyone that make it up right, baby; it more complex than it might seem,
It take a discriminatin' palate to appreciate them subtleties of crimson and cream.

Pay close attention here, this the part where you got to use the instruments right,
Take this here nozzle and slide it in just like that, you got it, down deep and tight.
Make sure you get far as you can, 'cause once it start comin' it gets itself a-goin',
And I don't want to hear no excuses outta you 'bout how you lost any overflowin'.
We almost there, I believe, look like the inside o' the cup is nice an' ripe an' red,
When you done dispensin', make sure you jerk that hose an' clean off the head.

Gettin' to th' good part now, 'cause this is where you get to sneak y'self a taste,
Open y'mouth wide as can be and chug it on down, don't leave nothin' to waste.
Just like I told you, it ain't quite like you thought it would be, but that ain't bad,
Least you can tell y' friends 'bout the dessert you ate that they ain't never had.
One thing to understand is this a rare sort of delicacy, an experience to savor,
Gotta wait about 28 days or so if you want that perfect cherry phosphate flavor.
