From: Ralph Butts

Looking for lyric/music or other info for "How I Love To Nibble On Your Cupcakes" (or some title like that).

It used to be sung in the 40's at the Taft Hotel in NYC by Charlie Drew, who I believe was the resident piano man.

Double bonus points for finding this one.......Tiger

Sorry about that double message. But does anyone know it? It's for my father-in-law, who's given me a couple of Mudcat submissions, and we've gotta pay him back.

Thanks.....Tiger

Well, Tiger, I found this on a Dejanews search:
from the big band newsgroup:
About 1978 I heard this on the Dr. Demento show and forgot the artist?
Do you also know the lable this record was on?
LYRICS: " Oh, he likes to nibble on my cupcakes they're just much too nice to go to waste.
They're smooth as silk they go with milk........
I've never had complainers
...........and there's a raisin on each tip."
From the dementia newsgroup:
Cupcakes - by Terri O'Mason (played 3/6/83, 1/15/84, & 10/9/88)

Not much, but maybe enough to start somebody thinking.

Click here for a Doctor Demento megasite. Maybe you'll find a lead there.

I heard a song that went, "he likes to nibble on my cupcakes'" on the Doctor Demento Show sometime back in the 70's. It was the same night I heard, "I'm My Own Grandpa" and it was a night that changed my life forever. Does anyone have the chords to "grandpa" ? I'm playing it from very hazy memories.

It sounds like the type of stuff Lil Johnson and Bo Carter did. Lots of food mages, but I can't seem to find cupcakes... I'll keep looking through discography as I think of artists... Sounds like fun..

Got this on a thread I started about "Songs about cakes"

Cup Cakes — Charley Drew

Don't know if I oughter, but I love the baker's daughter,
If you ask me why, you will hear me cry....

I love to nibble on her cup cakes,
I just go nuts about their taste.
They seem to melt right in my mouth
She's never had complainers
They're smooth as silk and rich with milk,
And come in, oh, such cute containers.
Oh, you should see those lovely cup cakes,
They are much too nice to go to waste.
She asked me if I'd like a bite,
It's been a habit since that night,
I love to nibble on her cup cakes.

I love to nibble on her cup cakes.
Just like her mother's they're just right
They're not too large, not too small,
They fit right in my grip
They're not too hard and not too soft,
And there's a cherry on each tip.
Oh, you should see those lovely cupcakes,
They'll make you raise a hearty appetite.
They're juicier than any steak,
And I found that they weren't fake,
I love to nibble on her cup cakes.

He introduced the third chorus as the "Returning soldier version" - remember, it's the mid 40's

Oh, how I dreamed about your cup cakes,
I kept their vision on my mind.
So round, so firm, so fully packed,
Without exaggeration.
I wish I had them there with me
Each time I nibbled my K-Ration,
And when I dreamed about your cup cakes,
Then, I knew what I was fighting for.
Remembering them, I got a yen,
Saltpeter came in handy then,
When I dreamed about your cup cakes.

He love's to nibble on my cup cakes,
He just go nuts about their taste.
They seem to melt right in his mouth
I've never had complainers
They're smooth as silk and full with milk,
And He says they come in, oh, such cute containers.
Oh, you should see my lovely cup cakes,
They are much too nice to go to waste.
I asked him if He'd like a bite,
And now he bites them every night
He loves to nibble on my cupcakes.

He love to nibble on her cup cakes.
Just like His mother's they're just right and left
They're not too big, not too small,
They fit right in his grip
They're not too hard and not too soft,
And there's a rasin on each tip.
Oh, you should see my lovely cupcakes,
They made him raise a hearty appetite.
They're juicier than any steak,
And he found out that they weren't fake,
He loves to nibble on my cup cakes.

You can hear this entire song at WFMU's web site.

I checked the lyrics carefully against the recording and made a few corrections:

CUP CAKES
As sung by Terry "Cupcake" O'Mason

He liked to nibble on my cupcakes.
He just went nuts about their taste.
They seem to melt right in his mouth.
I've never had complainers.
They're smooth as silk and filled with milk,
And he says they come in such cute containers.
Ooh, you should see my lovely cupcakes.
They are much too nice to go to waste.
I asked him if he'd like a bite,
And now he bites them every night.
He likes to nibble on my cupcakes.

He likes to nibble on my cupcakes.
Just like his mother's, they're just right—and left.
They're not too big. They're not too small.
They fit right in his grip.
They're not too hard and not too soft,
And there's a raisin on each tip.
Ooh, you should see my lovely cupcakes.
They made him raise a hear—ty appetite.
They're juicier than any steak,
And he found out that they weren't fake.
He likes to nibble on my cupcakes.
