"Lollipop" is a pop song written by Julius Dixson (sometimes spelled "Dixon") and Beverly Ross in 1958[1]. It was first recorded by the duo Ronald & Ruby - Ross herself was "Ruby" - and peaked at #20 on Billboard. The song was then covered more successfully by The Chordettes, reaching #2 and #3 on the Billboard pop and R&B charts, respectively[2]. The Chordettes' cover was also a worldwide hit, peaking at #6 in the UK.

In Sing, a trio of puffins sing this song as their audition for Buster Moon's singing competition. A snippet of "Lollipop" is included as part of the "Auditions" track on the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop

[Chorus]
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop

[Verse 1]
Call my baby lollipop, tell you why
Her kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when she does her
Shaky rocking dance
Man, I haven't got a chance

[Chorus]
I call her
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop

[Verse 2]
Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, cherry or lime
If you had a choice
She'd be your pick
But lollipop is mine

[Chorus]
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop

[Verse 3]
Crazy way she thrills me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
She loves to kiss me
'Till I can't see straight
Gee, my lollipop is great!

[Chorus]
I call her
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop, lollipop
Oh, lolli, lolli, lolli
Lollipop
