SIPPIN' SODA
(Paul Campbell)

Guy Mitchell & the Norman Luboff Children's Choir - 1953


Sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw
Sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw

The prettiest girl (The prettiest girl)
I ever saw (I ever saw)
Was sippin' soda  (Was sippin' soda)
Through a straw (Just through a straw)
I asked her what she sat there for
Just sippin' soda through a straw

She says to me (She says to me)
Oh, can't you see (Oh, can't you see)
That this is all (That this is all)
That I live for (That I live for)
I must admit that she looked sweet
When sippin' soda through a straw

Sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw
Sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw

And when she smiled (And when she smiled)
I lost my heart (I lost my heart)
I looked around ( I looked around)
Found another straw (Found another straw)
I wanted one thing more and more
To sip her soda through a straw

I held her hand (I held her hand)
And she held mine (And she held mine)
We sipped and sipped (We sipped and sipped)
And sipped some more (And sipped some more)
This is the end, there is no more
Of sippin' soda through a straw

Oh, sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw
Sippin' soda, sippin' soda
A-sippin' soda through a straw
