On TV, there he is, the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
He's calling everyone in the phone book,
telling everyone,
My cookies are fresher than ever!
Hoo! Hoo!
Wow, I want to be happy about something like that,
To be so giddy about my life's work.
I want to be filled with glee, totally unaware of life's pain
the cold weather, the difficult spots,
how things keep breaking all the time.
My cookies are fresher than ever!
I am the Pillsbury Dough Boy
And I only know this ecstatic moment.
