Add: LOLLIPOP Julius Dixson and Beverly Ross, 1958 Chorus: Lollipop, lollipop O lolli, lolli, lolli, Lollipop, Lollipop. ("pop") (Sung three times at the beginning) 1 Call my baby lollipop, Tell you why, His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie, And when he does his shaky, rockin' dance, Man, I haven't got a chance. I call him- Lollipop, lollipop, Oh lolli, lolli, lolli, Lollypop, lollipop. 2 Sweeter than candy on a stick Huckleberry, *chimry or lime He'd be your pick But lollipop is mine I call him- Lollipop, etc. 3 Crazy way he thrills me, Tell you why, Just like a lightning from the sky He loves to kiss me till I can't see straight- GEE, MY LOLLIPOP IS GREAT! I call him- Lollipop, etc. As sung by the Chordettes Chords at http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/lillipop.htm *chimry- that's what it says- you tell me. Not part of my childhood vocabulary. All youse guys singing the one about candy, straighten up! Send your pennies and nickels to the agent holding the copyright to the one and only original! |

This timeless classic has entered every major language and inspired other versions, including "My Boy Lollipop" (hmmmm, I should add the lyrics). "Die lollipop melody" was popular in Germany. "My Girl Lollipop" a hit in Italy. I could add others, but I will refrain. These examples are sufficient. "Lollipop" is used in Dell commercials. An obvious rhyming pair, 'laptop - lollipop' inspired their version. Also listen to a changling, "If all the little raindrops were lemon drops and lollipops"- oh, superb rhyming; quickly entered kidfolk. "My Girl Lollipop" the Italian bombshell: Chorus: La mia ragazza Lollipop, fate il mio cuore andare Giddy up, È possible impostate il mio mondo in fiamme, tu sei il mip unico deiderio, Si la mia ragazza Lollipop. "POP" A prime example of modern folk! |

La mia ragazza Lollipop, fate il mio cuore andare Giddy up, È possible impostare il mio mondo in fiamme, tu sei il mio unico desiderio, Si, la mia ragazza Lollipop, la mia ragazza Lollipop, La mia ragazza Lollipop, la mia ragazza Lollipop, La mia ragazza Lollipop, la mia ragazza Lollipop, La mia ragazza lollipop, LOLLIPOP OOH POCO. "POP" |
