Lyrics
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom
Call my baby lollipop
Tell you why
His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin’ dance
Man, i haven’t got a chance
I call him
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, cherry or lime
If you had a choice he’d be your pick
But lolipop is mine
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom
Crazy way he thrills me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me till i can’t see straight
Gee, my lolipop is great
I call him
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop
Oh lolipop
