This melancholy and somewhat Wonkafied tune refers in its lyrics back to the title of the album, Let’s Go Eat the Factory. And it seems that the titular chocolate boy melts in the broiling summer sun at the end.
Chocolate boy
You fell into the summer
And neither neither none
Of all the good you've done
Could turn our happy factory
Once again from bummer
Paper man
Exposed a nasty rumor
Of all the fouls we cried
Belied and bowdlerized
For our hypocrisy
And nepotistic humor
The best of the opera
And Dutch chocolate finger play
The test at the exit
Of the entrance we will know
A concrete heart sinks slow
And chocolate kings adore
A chocolate painted floor
A look out down before
And then the summer made
A chocolate boy no more
Chocolate Boy was written by Robert Pollard.
