She sends you lovely letters with the smell of sweet perfume
This is what a real tenderoni likes to do for you

The truth about Roni, she's a sweet ol' girl
About the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world
She'd make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love
So once you've had a Roni, you will never give her up

You know, the kind of girl that stands out in a crowd
Found a tenderoni and the Roni is so right
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life
