The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drums and trains
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?
Chorus:
On the good ship Lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bon’s 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 a tootsie roll
With the big bad devils 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
With this command:
“All aboard for candy land”
Chorus:
On the good ship Lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bon’s 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 a tootsie roll
With the big bad devils 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
