Can only remember the first few lines and the last few. Anyone out there know the rest?  
Oooey-gooey, rich and chewy inside,  
Golden flakey, tender cakey outside.  
Wrap the inside with the outside…

The big fig newton,  
one more time, the big fig newton!

There’s a number of sites with this sort of nostalgia.  
Try [http://www.ask.com](http://www.ask.com) and search on “jingle”.

I’ll see if I can nab one for you.
