I go to the Farmer's Market every weekend to get my supply of fresh fruit and veggies and I can never pass up red, ripe strawberries. Those juicy little suckers call to me... despite my Mum often whispering in my ear "yooooou knooooow you still have 2 baskets uneaten." So here's what I do when I have an over abundance...
Shelly's Sugar Free Strawberry Topping
1 1/2 cups fresh Strawberries, chopped
1 1/2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Torani Syrup (I use Vanilla)
Cook berries over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Mashing to desired consistency. Remove from heat. Add Syrup.
Pour into sterile jam jar (boil for 15 minutes to sterilize). Keeps in the refrigerator for several weeks or if you want to have it longer just can it. This makes a great topping for "ricottage" or cottage cheese pancakes, cottage cheese, Fage Greek yogurt, it's excellent on top of my Strawberry Ricotta Custard or a sauce for fruit salad or dipping grilled fruit kabobs.
;) It also makes a great Strawberry Margarita
Shelly's Strawberry Margarita
2 cups Ice
1/2 cup Shelly's Sugar Free Strawberry Topping
1 cup Tequila (the good stuff - my choice: Patron Silver)
1 Lime, juiced
Splash of Orange Juice
Blend in blender till smooth.

...cause I'm going to "Strawberry Fields," where nothing is real and there's nothing to get hung about, "Strawberry Fields Forever" or something like that, sometimes I hear different words than what is really being sung...so shoot me. I usually make up my own words anyways.

mmm, yummylicious strawberry goodness. I'm going to our local Strawberry Festival this weekend (Arroyo Grande) and our central coast strawberries are to DIE FOR this season. I have some every night.

Ok, so I don't know the strawberry song everyone else knows but this song (Let Me Take You Down by Van Halen/Hagar) fits your prompt and your strawberry margaritas! ; )
