"Savoy Truffle" Lyrics

by George Harrison

Original Manuscript (1968)

(1) cream tangerine and montelimar - a ginger sling
with a pineapple heart. A coffee desert [sic]
yes you know it's 'good news' - but you're going
to have them all 'pulled out' after the Savoy Truffle

(2) cool cherry cream and a nice 'apple tart'
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
A coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you're going to have them all pulled out
after the Savoy Truffle

You may not feel it now but when the pain cuts thru
you're going to know and how
the sweet is going to fill your head
It will become too much [...] shout out loud.

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

Cream tangerine, montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart.
Coffee dessert - yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues (wuh)
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You might not feel it now
When the pain cuts through
You're gonna know and how.
The sweat it's gonna fill your head
When it becomes too much
You shout aloud.

But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You know that what you eat you are
But what is sweet now turns so sour.
We all know ob-la-di 'b-la-da
But can you show me where you are?

Cream tangerine and montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
Coffee dessert - yes you know it's good news (wuh)
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Yes, you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
