I'd Rather Suck on a Lemon Drop

DESCRIPTION: "Oh I'd rather suck on a lemon drop Than to try my luck with a lollipop, 'Cause I always drop my lollipop And it gets all over icky. Oh it makes me sick how the way it smears... I've tried and tried, but never could find A lollipop that's halfway refined"
