	Doesn't it just tick you off when you think you're getting a chocolate chip cookie and it turns out to be raisins?!

	Story Behind the Song I simply felt the need to express my displeasure with those people who insist on wasting good cookie dough by inserting raisins. It turns out that it's a coffeehouse favorite. I know this because it's one of the few times people actually look up from their game of dominoes or checkers. The recording is a live studio take--no polishing to speak of. You get me and the guitar with all the zits showing... You'll find this song hidden a minute or two after The Laundromat Song. Lyrics I heard it from a co-worker on the other side of the cube someone brought in homemade cookies but she only left a few I rushed out of my chair down toward the coffee machine when I spied a plate of crumbs with one cookie left for me I looked down to the left of me I looked down to my right I didn't want to look like a pig takin' that last cookie in sight That cookie was baked to a perfect golden brown but when I took my first bite I couldn't believe what I found... I got the "thought they would be gooey, but they turned out to be chewy, raisins masquerading as a Toll House morsel cookie" blues Yeah the raisin cookie blues... (let me tell ya' about 'em...) They're ok in raisin bran, or trail mix But don't put 'em in my cookies 'cuz they look like chocolate chips Well, you can say I'm overreacting that raisins are no need to bellow but to me, that's as demented as putting pineapple in my green Jell-O Don't tell me they're good for me "Cuz I know the truth A cookie's no place for some dried up old fruit To each their own, and you can say that you love 'em But if you want some fiber and some nutrition why don't you eat a bran muffin (Chorus) Bridge You can put in my cookies Oatmeal, M&Ms or even walnuts or you can put in them some white chocolate chunks or some of those funky macadamia nuts but don't ever, I mean ever, no ifs, ands or buts, don't put raisins in my cookies or I'll go nuts (chorus)
