Savoy Truffle is a song by The Beatles, written and sung by George Harrison. It was included on The Beatles album (also known as The White Album). Harrison wrote the song as a tribute to his friend Eric Clapton's chocolate addiction. George Harrison got the lyrics for this from the inside lid of a box of chocolates. Montelimart, Ginger Sling, Cream Tangerine, and Coffee Dessert were names of sweets in the Mackintosh "Good News" assortment. Supposedly all of the confectionery names are authentic except cherry cream and coconut fudge. The chorus, "But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle", is a reference to the deterioration of ones teeth after eating too many sweets. The line "We all know Obla-di-bla-da" refers to the song 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da' which appears earlie
