lyrics

Cheesecake
Dwight Evan Young/Vince Rostkowski

The meaning of life is an issue, complex,
Through which many philosophers struggle.
But I assure you I’ve discovered the secret:
Life is… like cheesecake.

They’re exceptionally wise,
But the greatest of minds
Have failed to consider this limitless cake,
Ontological proof for the substance of life:
Cheesecake is the thing we all seek.

Aristotle, Descartes, and Immanuel Kant
Ain’t got shit on this theory,
This Cheese-osophy:
As we are like the cake,
So too we must bake,
To become as the pastry would be:

[CHORUS]
Sweet till the very end,
Savory with a friend,
Smooth till the last tangy bite leaves you longing for more.
Rich when you share it well,
It’s thick, but still swell,
That’s why I tell you life is like cheesecake.

I cheesecake therefore I am.

The unexamined cheesecake is not worth eating.

Cheesecake is the measure of all things.

You cannot step in the same cheesecake twice.

[CHORUS]

In cheesecake we trust!
Graham-crackery crust!
Smooth till the last cheesy bite melts in your mouth.
Fattening in excess,
Served with chocolate is best,
And strawberries are nice with cheesecake!
