Lollipops and Roses
Herb Alpert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make it her birthday each day of the week
Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses
One day she'll smile, next day she'll cry
Minute to minute you'll never know why
Coax her, pet her, better yet, get her
We try acting grown up but as a rule
We're all little children fresh from school
So carry her books that's how it starts
Fourteen or forty they're kids in their hearts
Keep them handy, flowers and candy
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses
So carry her books that's how it starts
Fourteen or forty they're kids in their hearts
Keep them handy, flowers and candy
Roses and lollipops and lollipops and roses
The lyrics to Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass's song Lollipops And Roses highlight the importance of continuously showing love and affection to a significant other. The opening lines encourage the listener to express their love verbally and frequently, making their partner feel special and celebrated. The lyrics then proceed to emphasize the significance of small gestures, such as bringing gifts and surprises, to keep the romance alive. These gifts and surprises are represented by roses and lollipops - simple, colorful, and joyful symbols of love.
The lines "One day she'll smile, next day she'll cry, Minute to minute you'll never know why" highlight the unpredictability of emotions and the complexities of romantic relationships. However, the singer suggests that one should never give up on love and should always strive to understand their partner better. The lyrics also suggest that the journey of love is a continuous learning process, and one can always improve their relationship by keeping their partner happy.

Cocktail parties, whiskey sours, highballs, a carton of smokes, and Herb Alpert on the stereo--ahhhh the 60's in all its glory!!
@frankmicman
Whipped Cream sold over 6 million copies in the United States and the album cover alone is considered a classic pop culture icon. It featured model Dolores Erickson wearing chiffon and shaving cream. The picture was taken at a time when Erickson was three months pregnant. The cover was so popular with Alpert fans that, during concerts, when about to play the song "Whipped Cream", Alpert would tell the audience, "Sorry, we can't play the cover for you!"

If you look closely you can she's actually outfitted (and I use the word loosely :D) in a white blanket dotted with that shaving cream. Shot in the photographer's garage as I recall.
Still the BEST album cover on any LP or CD ever.

Her tits are fucking magnificent and she's ultra sexy. I'd over look a bush if it was present
@ninjabearpress2574
