Truly Scrumptious
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Toot sweets sound like what they are
So do lollies in a lollipop jar
Ginger-bread men have a ginger-bread sound, we've found

Sugar plum, cinnamon and lemon tart
Tell you what they are right from the start
And your name, does the same for you
By coincidence, Truly Scrumptious
You're Truly Truly Scrumptious
Scrumptious as a cherry peach parfait
When you're near us, it's so delicious
Honest, Truly, you're the answer to our wishes
Truly Scrumptious, though we may seem presumptious
Never never ever go away
Our hearts beat so unruly, because we love you Truly
Honest, Truly, we do

Truly Scrumptious, you two are Truly Scrumptious
Scrumptious as a breeze across the bay
When you're smiling, it's so delicious
So beguiling, you're the answer to my wishes
Truly Scrumptious, you two are Truly Scrumptious
And I shan't forget this lovely day




My heart beat so unruly, I also love you truly
Honest, truly, I do
