Better Than Anything

Better than cream cheese and bagels
Better than honey on bread
Better than champagne and pretzels
Better than breakfast in bed

Better than chili rellenos
Better than chocolate eclairs
Better than hothouse tomatoes
Better than fresh bartlett pears

Better than dining a la carte
Or simply gastronomic art
Better than anything except being in love

Better than making a million
Better than being a queen
Better than oil wells and gold mines
Better than pastures of green

Better than finding a horseshoe
Better than losing your head
Better than anything ever thought of
Better than anything ever said

Ah, ha better than singing right out loud
Or being ha, spotted in a crowd
Better than anything except being in love

Better than elephants, elephants are dancing
Better than clowns on parade
Better than peanuts and popcorn
Better than pink lemonade

Better than rides on the midway
Better than seals blowing horns
Better than men shot through cannons
Better than fresh ears of corn

Ah, better than balancing on a wire
Or watching tigers jump through fire
Better than anything except being in love

Better than driving 'round the park
Or watching fireflies after the dark
Better than anything except being in love

Hey, Diana? Yeah?
Are you sure that love is even better than shopping?
Well, there's a little sale on late floor up at Barneys
But it's still better

Oh, come on, come on
What about that thirty percent sale at Jimmy Chu's
And Sak's Fifth Avenue Friends and Family Day? Ha?
Still better

Well, maybe close second
Very close second
Better, more better
Better, better, better
