Here's a lovely fun song I composed in 1974 while on a trip along the Cape Garden Route in South Africa. My children and I sang it then, and their children sing it now.
ALL I WANT IS A
LOLLIPOP
by Shirley Friedman
All I want is a lollipop, a lollipop, a
lollipop,
All I want is a lollipop to while away the time.
All I want is some candy floss, candy floss, candy floss,
All I want is some candy floss to while away the time.
I wouldn't mind a piece of
chocolate
To tell the truth, I'd love a bit.
Or may I could have a candy bar. .
Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja!
All I want is a lollipop, a lollipop, a
lollipop,
All I want is a lollipop to while away the time.
All I want is a lollipop, a lollipop, a
lollipop,
All I want is a lollipop to while away the time.
All I want is some candy floss, candy floss, candy floss,
All I want is some candy floss to while away the time.
I wouldn't mind a piece of licorice
I'd tell myself, you lucky fish.
Or maybe I could have some chewing gum.
Yum yum yum yum yum, lekker stuff!
All I want is a lollipop, a lollipop, a
lollipop,
All I want is a lollipop to while away the time.
