I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
Golden hair and big, blue eyes she could win a beauty prize
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

If I ever lose her I'll lay me down and die
If sugar seems sweet then you ought to meet
My honey coated sweetie pie

I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sake
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
I feel like a honey bee when she's buzzing 'round with me
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby

Got pounds of candy kisses but I can't spare an ounce
She's sweeter than wine and brother, she's mine
And that's the only thing that counts

I like candy, I like cake, I like jam but goodness sakes
There's nothin' as sweet as my baby
