Now I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake There's nothing as sweet as my baby She got golden hair and big blue eyes she could win a beauty prize There's nothing as sweet as my baby If I ever lose her I'll lay me down and die If sugar seems sweet then you oughta meet my honey coated sweetie pie I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake There's nothing as sweet as my baby [ guitar - steel ] Now I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake There's nothing as sweet as my baby I'll be like a honeybee when she's buzzin' round with me There's nothing 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 and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake There's nothing as sweet as my baby
