Song Description

Sometimes we like to eat one thing, sometimes another. Sometimes we like to do some things, and sometimes something else. The contrast just makes things better. And watching the world go by, and all the different kinds of people adds to the "interesting color scheme".

Lyrics

Sometimes I crave a cup of vanilla
Smooth and sweet and clean
Sometimes I crave a mug of hot chocolate
Smothered in a dollop of cream
Sometimes I want to fill up a cup
With nuts and marshmallow dreams
It's a mixed bag, a mixed bag
A rocky road ice cream

Crunchy granola when I'm out strollin'
Oats and berries and seeds
When it's time for a rest
I add a little zest
And eat pepperoni and cheese
Spicy thin slices and chunky dices of cheese make a beautiful team
It's a mixed bag, a mixed bag
A rocky road ice cream

Cheese tastes better with pepperoni
Pepperoni's better with cheese
Sometimes we need a taste of something different
To appreciate the things that please

Sometimes I want to race up a hill
And feel the wind in my face
Sometimes I want to lag behind
Not in a hurry to get anyplace
Sometimes I like to turn up the music
And dance with my arms flung wide
And sometimes I like to curl up in a corner and hide
And listen to the music inside

Sometimes I like to sit with my Gran
And watch the people go by
Kids on bikes and a UPS man
Couple of walkers with coffee in hand
Uniforms and suits and jeans
Add to the interesting color scheme
With faces black and white and in between
It's a mixed bag, and mixed bag
A rocky road ice cream
It's a mixed bag, a mixed bag
A rocky road ice cream
