Lollipop
DJ's Choice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 devil's 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.
