Yes it is a real song! It’s by blues guy Lonnie Mack. It’s funny how this old thing keeps popping up on the web every so often.

And here are the full lyrics:

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Chocolate on my fingers, icing on my lips,
sugar diabetes - and blubber on my hips
I keep the nightlight burning in the kitchen, babe,
so I can go downstairs and cruise.
I got them Oreo Cream Sandwich,
chocolate covered cream filled cookie blues.

Verse 2

I hide em in the cabinet, I keep 'em (them) in a jar.
For emergenicies you know I keep 'em in the-
glove compartment of my car,
an' I can't live without em,
they get me higher than I can get on booze.
I got them Oreo Cream Sandwich,
chocolate covered cream filled cookie blues

(guitar solo in three parts)

"Play it one time, Stevie" (Acoustic Guitar Picking Solo)
"Brother Bill, play it" (Acoustic Slide Solo)
"Can I have one?" (back to Picking solo)

Verse 3

Doctor says I'm crazy.
'You'd better give 'em up-a-quick
or you'll be pushing up daisies-because,
boy you definately sick.'
Ya know but uh,
I couldn't quit if I wanted to.
Yeah, I don't wanna loose___
them Oreo Cream Sandwich, (now watch me)
chocolate covered cream filled cookie,
built by Nabisco, yaknow aint no rookie uh-huh
Next best thing to nookie, Blues
