Cola Wars

Lyrics

Pepsi Cola, Coca-Cola, I recall the Cola Wars
"Ours is better," "Ours is sweeter," taste tests just like fine wine pours
When it all comes down to it, doesn't really matter a bit
Grab a can and chug it down, make a smile from that old frown

When I was young a Double Cola was my drink of choice
Packed as eight, instead of six, two extra were a joy
A Royal Crown did also make me feel just like a king
Shasta Cola often found a taste for my drinking

Then I dumped it all when I discovered Mountain Dew
That became my drink of choice, cola: number two
Dr. Pepper wasn't really very far behind
I had rather varied tastes, I could not be confined

But then new cola wars began, the fight again ensued
New Coke was now the one to beat, the war now was renewed
Swept up in the new battle I began to doubt my choice
New Coke was not that satisfying, had to raise my voice

Then Coca-Cola found that it did not have a hit
It brought back Classic Coke and now my Dew was not all it
A Classic Coke added some flavors that suited my taste
The spoils of war, I dived back in, there was no time to waste

And now it's been so many years, I waver often not
I stayed with Coke, but sometimes choose whatever hits the spot
My fridge contains a large variety, many a can
So faithful to the Cola Wars? I'm no longer that man.
