PETER'S POP KEEPS A LOLLIPOP SHOP
J.P.Long

as rec by Jack Cooper, Les Carew, and Max Bacon w Ambrose and His Orch (1936)


JACK COOPER:

There's a lucky lad named Pete
Living in our village street
Girlies try to catch his eye
I'll tell you the reason why

Peter's pop keeps a lollipop shop
Full of dainty things to eat
Peter's pop keeps a lollipop shop
It's a real good break for Pete

Pretty girls all stop at the lollipop shop
That is owned by Peter's pop
And Pete picked many a perfect peach
>From Pete's pop's lollipop shop

LES CAREW:

Peter's Pop keeps a little "pop shop"
With the three brass balls complete
Peter's Pop keeps a little "pop shop"
So they call him Uncle Pete

When your watch you "pop" at the little "pop shop"
That is owned by Peter's Pop - Aye
It helps to pass away the time
At Pete's Pop's lollipop shop

MAX BACON:

Peter's Pop keeps a lollipop shop
(Did I tell you this before?)
Well a girl once stopped in the lollipop shop
And the name was "Annie Moore"

But she met her "cop" at the lollipop shop
Now the boys round there don't stop
'Cos Annie don't live anymore in
Pete's Pop's lollipop shop!
