Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Everybody seems to think that candy is sweet
And maple syrup, too
I agree with everybody, candy is sweet
But not as sweet as you
Chorus
Sweetie Pie
Little bit sugar, little bit honey
Little bit sad and a little bit funny
You are my Sweetie Pie
Sweetie Pie
Little bit good and little bit naughty
Little bit proud and a little bit haughty
Still you’re my Sweetie Pie
Don’t you sigh
How the time is gonna fly
‘Till I meetcha’ with the preacher bye and bye
Sweetie Pie
Put your wee head upon my shoulder
Wait until you get a little bit older
You’ll be my Sweetie Pie
- Apple pie and cherry pie are tasty to eat
And Boston cream pie, too
But I know a certain pie that has them all beat
And I refer to you
