MOLASSES MOLASSES (IT'S ICKY STICKY GOO)
Larry Carlton

The Four Hits And A Miss with Ella Fitzgerald (1950)
Spike Jones And His City Slickers (1950)


Molasses, molasses
It's icky sticky goo
Molasses, molasses
It always sticks to you

There was a man named Pete (Mister Pete)
He dearly loved to eat (he loved to eat)
He chewed and chewed on so much food
He can't stand on his feet

There was a man named Jack (Mister Jack)
Who stepped upon a crack ('pon a crack)
He was so thin he fell right in
And never did come back

I knew man named Kent (Mister Kent)
Whose nose was very bent (very bent)
He followed it too far one day
No one knows where Kent went

There was a man named Fred
Who loved to stay in bed
When by and by they wondered why
They found out he was dead

Ooh, that icky sticky goo
