Gum Drop
The Crew Cuts Lyrics

Gum drop, gum drop
Gum drop, gum drop

In a candy shop around the corner
I met a little gal and she's a goner
I looked at her, she looked at me
I stole a kiss and ooh, wee

My heart starts beating
(Gum drop, gum drop)

Lips kept repeating
(Gum drop, gum drop)

Looks so fine
Makes you know she's mine
Gum drop, gum drop

[CHORUS]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gum drop, gum drop
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Gum drop, gum drop
So good, so good
Good down to the last drop

She's my sugar and spice
(Gum drop, gum drop)
Everything nice
(Gum drop, gum drop)

She's my peaches and cream
(Gum drop, gum drop)
Candy man's dream
(Gum drop, gum drop)

Puts me on a cloud
Makes me holler out loud
(Gum drop, gum drop)

[Repeat CHORUS]

Da da da da da...

Honey don't care about the money
I spent for the presents I buy
She just wants a honey

[Repeat CHORUS]

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Gum drop

The Crew-Cuts were a Canadian vocal quartet (formed in 1952 - Toronto, Ontario, Canada) that made a number of popular records that charted in the United States and worldwide. They named themselves after the popular crew cut haircut, one of the first connections made between pop music and hairstyle. While the crew-cut hair style came as a result of the name change, the original intent was that the name crew-cuts denoted the music they sang (pop) as opposed to Longhair (classical).

1950's, a kid in the neighborhood, whom I didn't know well, suggested I come to his home and listen to his new record he was excited about. I went. On the little record player he spun "Gum Drop". That was for me, an early teen guy. my intro to something "Pop" that "rocked". A little surprise then, and a lasting memory since. Music is forever. Good post. Thanks.
