[SC] I know a boy. His name is Billy.
He likes to lick on a great big lolly.
Yes, Billy loves a lolly. Loves a lolly, does Billy,
And he’s got a box of really big lollies.
Billy lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Billy lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop.
Billy lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Billy lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Billy has a friend. Her name is Molly.
And Billy gave a lollipop to make a Molly jolly.
Yes, Billy gave a lollipop to his friend Molly,
And now Molly has a lolly, and she’s jolly, thanks to Billy.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Molly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Molly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop.
Molly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Molly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Molly has a friend whose name is Lilly.
And Lilly loves a lolly, just like Billy and a Molly.
So Molly gave to Lilly just what Billy gave to Molly,
And now Lilly has a lolly like a Molly and a Billy.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Lilly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Lilly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop.
Lilly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Lilly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Now, Lilly has a friend whose name is Solly.
And Solly says, “Oh, golly!” when he sees a lolly.
So Lilly gave to Solly just what Billy gave to Molly,
Just what Molly gave to Lilly. Don’t you think it’s kind of silly?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Solly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Solly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop.
Solly lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly.
Solly lick a lolly, and we’d better just stop.
