The Good Ship Lollipop
She was a little tyke who had a curly mop top
in charge of her good ship called the Lollipop
her crew was made up of lollipop kids
all from the Land of Oz, not from the Land of Id
They had just left Sweet Island with all their supplies
of lollipops, lemonade, cakes, candies and pies
to which Shirley the mop top told her crew
to not lolly gag until their work was all through
But her lollipop crew needed a sugar rush and didn't listen
and once back on the ship they we're whisperin'
Butch the leader was wanting to take over
an addict for sweets he was a sugar eating rover
Whereupon one of the lollipop kids resisted the mutiny idea
and when he confided in Shirley he had a little fear
Shirley said don't worry your secret is safe
and after this you'll surely become my first lollipop mate
It turned out Butch and his buddy's ate most of what was on the ship
the plans of mutiny dissolved because they we're too sick
Shirley said I warned you not to eat all that candy and cake
now we'll have to sail somewhere because of all your tummy ache's
So they all headed to Pepto Bismol Island
where everything was pink even the hot sand
grabbing a pitcher they went to the Pepto Bismol waterfall
where they filled it up and brought it down the ships hall
Where Shirley gave the mutineers the medicine and they got better
but she couldn't trust them again, no not ever
having to sail back again to Sweet Island to resupply her Lollipop Ship
she sent them all back home to the Land of Oz on a hot air balloon trip
Now it was just Shirley and her trustworthy first lollipop mate
who needed to hire more lollipop crew who wouldn't eat so much cake
so they sailed far away to find a new crew from Looney Toon Island
hiring a bunch of Bugs Bunny's who craved only carrots and danced hawaiian.
