Ruth Brown (January 12, 1928 – November 17, 2006) was an American singer-songwriter and actress also known as "Queen of R&B" noted for bringing a pop music style to R&B music in a series of hit songs for Atlantic Records in the 1950s, such as "So Long", "Teardrops from My Eyes" and "(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean". For these contributions, Atlantic became known as "The house that Ruth built" (alluding to the popular nickname for Old Yankee Stadium). more »

I've thrown away my toys, even my drum and train.
I wanna make some noise with real live aeroplanes. 
Some day I'm going to fly, I'll be a pilot too. 
And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?

On The Good Ship Lollipop. 
It's a sweet trip to a candy shop 
Where bon-bons play 
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay.

Lemonade stands everywhere 
Crackerjack bands fill the air 
And there you are 
Happy landing on a chocolate bar.

See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll 
With the big bad devil's food cake. 
If you eat too much ooh-ooh 
You'll awake with a tummy ache.

On The Good Ship Lollipop 
It's a night trip into bed you hop 
And dream away 
On The Good Ship Lollipop.
