Thursday Camp Song – Lemon Drop

February 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Lemon Drop

Oh, I’d rather suck on a lemon drop
Than trust my luck with a lollipop
Cause a lollipop, I always drop
And it gets all over — icky.

Oh, I’ve tried and tried but still I can’t find
A lollipop that’s halfway refined;

Oh, I’d rather suck on a lemon drop
Than trust my luck with a lollipop
Cause a lollipop, I always drop
And it gets all over — icky.

ICKY, ICKY, ICKY — BLAA

    i learned this a little differently but it’s been one of the heirlooms my kids have already inherited. i learned it at camp garaywa in mississippi. imagine 350 girls hollering this out in a small auditorium with a tin roof! It was memorable-You couldn’t help but memorize it!

    My mother used to sing this song all the time. It goes like this:

    Oh, I’d rather suck on a lemon drop
    than to trust my luck with a lolly pop

    With a lemon bean you’re always clean,
    with a lolly pop all sticky

    Oh, I hate the way that it sticks and smears,
    It gets all over my hair and ears,

    With a lemon bean you’re always clean,
    with a lolly pop all sticky

    I’ve tried and tried, but never could find
    a lolly pop that was half way refined

    I hate the way that it sticks and smears, it gets all over my hair and ears

    With a lemon bean, you’re always clean,
    with a lolly pop all sticky
