Baby you're hotter
Than a bowl of soup
You're oh so very hot
And baby you're cooler
Than the coolest snow
You know, you know
That baby you're

Sweeter than sugar
Uh huh, uh huh
Oh baby you can't be beat, no no
Sweeter than sugar
’Cause sugar you're so sweet

Baby you're softer
Than a cotton tail
You're oh so very soft
And you're so good lookin'
I can't help but stare
’Cause you're all there
And baby you're

Sweeter than sugar
Uh huh, uh huh,
Baby you can't be beat, no no
Sweeter than sugar
’Cause sugar you're so sweet

(Ahhh)
(You're sweet, you're sweet, you're oh so sweet)
(So sweet, so sweet, so very sweet)
(You're sweet, so sweet, you're oh so sweet)

And you're doin' me fine
You do me outta my mind
And how I love you, I love you, I love her, love her love her
’Cause you're sweeter than sugar
Uh huh, uh huh
Baby you can't be beat, no no
Sweeter than sugar
Oh sugar you're so sweet
(One two tree four, stick around I’ll tell you more)
Sweeter than sugar
Uh huh, uh huh
Baby you can't be beat, no
Sweeter than sugar
Uh huh, uh huh
Oh you know you’re sweeter baby
Sweeter than sugar
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Oh listen to me people now
Sweeter than sugar, na na, na na . . .  

ANDY RATING:

Holds its own between Chewy, Chewy and Mercy and the middle bit with the playschool/jump rope chant is as inspired as it is annoying.

 

NOTES:

. . . maybe the earliest example of Joey Levine's jingle writing . . . or at least the first two lines and the cotton tail bit . . .
