Oreo Cookie Song

Ah, the memories. Eating Oreos as a kid, twisting them apart to get the cream first, then eating the cookie parts in one mouthful. This apparently make me a criminal. There are many lyrics to the song on the web, some of them not so nice, but the one Mookee always sang while I thumped out the bass line went something like this:

They forever go together it’s a chocolate combination
Something something something something something something or other
Something something something something
O R E O.

Kudos to anyone who can get the lyrics right!
