How many of you remember more than the words “On the good ship lollipop. It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop”?
“The Good Ship Lollipop”
music by R. Whiting and words by S. Clare
I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train.
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes.
Some day I’m going to fly.
I’ll be a pilot too.
And when I do, how would you
Like to be my crew…
On the good ship lollipop.
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay.
Lemonade stands everywhere.
Crackerjack bands fill the air.
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar.
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devils food cake.
If you eat too much ooh ooh
You’ll awake with a tummy ache.
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a night trip into bed you hop
And dream away
On the good ship lollipop.
Rest in peace Shirley Temple. Part of innocent childhood memories.
