Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My boy lollipop,
You made my heart go giddy up.
You are as sweet as candy;
You're my sugar dandy.
Ho, ho, my boy lollipop,
Never ever leave me,
Because it would grieve me;
My heart told me so.

I love ya, I love ya, I love ya so,
That I want ya to know.
I need ya, I need ya, I need ya so,
And I'll never let you go.

My boy lollipop,
You make my heart go giddy up.
You set my world on fire.
You are my one desire.




My boy lollipop.
My boy lollipop.

I am a 71 yrs young grandpa and well remember when this song rode the air waves. I don't remember ever seeing this clip. I am much impressed with her dancing skills. Oh boy, memories sometimes grow sweeter with age, don't they?
