The truth about a Roni, she's a sweet little girl
You can treat her right, real nice and hold her tight
Only tenderonis can give a special love
A special kind of love that makes you feel good inside

So once you've had a Roni, you will never give her up

You know, the kind of girl that stands out in crowds
Found a tenderoni and the Roni is so right
