I, don’t know why
I hang around the rooftops
Licking on a lollypop
And I, don’t know why
I lick a lolly lavishly
A little like an icecream
Cos up on the roof you can see every star
And it keeps you away from the people you are
Close to the sky like a man in a cloud
Looking inside and laughing out loud
Feeling proud!
Of your Lolly Pop
I, I can see
The flavour of my Lolly Pop
With a megaphone
And I, like to feel
Like I’m floating on a mushroom
In a packet full of jelly tots!
Cos Lolly’s are cool and Jelly’s are great
Hold your Lolly aloft while you suck on a flake
Dip your Lolly in cream it’s a heavenly sight
The red and the cream and the cream and the white
Have a lick and a suck and a suck and a bite
In the light of the day and the dark of the night
Feeling proud!
Of your Lolly Pop
Of your Lolly Pop
Lolly Pop!
A VERY silly song, obviously influenced heavily by the smoking of nature's finest green!
But also I remember, influenced by Morrisey type lyrics in Smiths songs (thanks to Martin Hynes) particularly 'Big Mouth' I think, which we used to play at this time, where Joan of Arc was noted to have been using a hearing aid and listening to a 'Walkman'?!
(Plus a heavy dose of 60s/70s child innuendo of course)
The guitar and drum sounds on these old demos is awful, but I've put them on line just to hear how the song goes.
Maybe one day I'll get around to recording better versions, but I think this one is going to be WAY down the list of priorities! xD
