Albums in which the song is present

1968 - The Beatles (White Album)

GEORGE 1977: ''Savoy Truffle' on The White Album was written for Eric (Clapton).
He's got this real sweet tooth and he'd just had his mouth worked on.
His dentist said he was through with candy.
So as a tribute I wrote, 'You'll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy Truffle.' The truffle was some kind of sweet, just like all the rest – cream tangerine, ginger sling – just candy, to tease Eric.'

GEORGE 1980: ''Savoy Truffle' is a funny one written whist hanging out with Eric Clapton in the '60s.
At that time he had alot of cavities in his teeth and needed dental work.
He always had a toothache but he ate alot of chocolates – he couldn't resist them, and once he saw a box he had to eat them all.
He was over at my house, and I had a box of 'Good News' chocolates on the table and wrote the song from the names inside the lid.
I got stuck with the two bridges for a while and Derek Taylor wrote some of the words in the middle – 'You know that what you eat you are.''

Creme tangerine and montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You'll shout aloud

[Instrumental/Solo]

But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle

You know that what you eat you are
But what is sweet now turns so sour
We all know obla-dibla-da
But can you show me where you are?

Creme tangerine and montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle

Yes you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle
