LOLLIPOPS AND ROSES 
(Words & Music : Tony Velona)
Jack Jones - circa 1960


Tell her you care each time you speak. 
Make it her birthday each day of the week. 
Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things,
roses and lollipops and lolipops and roses. 

One day she'll smile, next day she'll cry, 
minute to minute you'll never know why.
Coax her, pet her, better yet, get her
roses and lollipops and lolipops and roses.

We try___ acting grown up,____ but___ as a rule___ 
we're all____ lit-tle children____ fresh from school. 
So carry her books. That's how it starts. 
Fourteen or forty they're kids in their hearts. 
Keep them handy, flowers and candy,
roses and lollipops and lolipops____ and roses.
