Toot Sweets
[CARACTACUS POTTS, spoken]
Don't waste your pucker on some all-day sucker
And don't try a toffee or cream
If you seek perfection in sugar confection
Well, here's something new on the scene
A mouthful of cheer! A sweet without peer!
[sung]
A musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
The eatable, tweet-able treats
[TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS]
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
The toot of a flute with the flavor of fruit
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
No longer need candy be mute
[CARACTACUS]
Don't waste your pucker on some all-day sucker
[TRULY]
And don't try a toffee or cream
If you seek perfection in sugar confection
[CARACTACUS]
Well, here's something new on the scene
[TRULY]
A mouthful of cheer!
[CARACTACUS]
That sweet without peer!
[CARACTACUS & TRULY]
That musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
A bonbon to blow on at last has been found
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
With tweet-able, eatable sound
[CARACTACUS]
Their value is intrinsic
[TRULY]
Surpass any mint stick
[JEREMY & JEMIMA]
Or marshmallow mouthful you munch
[CARACTACUS]
Though licorice is chewy
[TRULY]
And gum drops are gooey
[JEREMY & JEMIMA]
And chocolate is charming to crunch
[CARACTACUS AND TRULY]
That savory fife
[WOMEN]
That sweet of your life
[KIDS & FACTORY WORKERS]
It's clearly the best of the bunch
[ALL]
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
[CARACTACUS]
That savory fife
[TRULY]
That sweet of your life
[ALL]
Is clearly the best of the bunch
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
A bonbon to blow on at last has been found
Toot Sweets, Toot Sweets
The treat that's so tweet-able
Lusciously eatable
With that unbeatable sound!
