I don't really know any 50s songs, my parents were born in the 1950s. The pub jukebox has lots of oldies so there must be a few 50s hits on it. I've heard "Carol", "Diana", Long Tall Sally", "At The Hop", "It's Only Make Believe" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" but I wouldn't have known what years they were hits. I like the title "If I Knew You Were Comin’ I’d’ve Baked A Cake" but I haven't heard the song.

Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom

Call my baby lollipop
Tell you why
His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin' dance
Man, i haven't got a chance
I call him

Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)

Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, cherry or lime
If you had a choice he'd be your pick
But lolipop is mine

Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom

Crazy way he thrills me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me till i can't see straight
Gee, my lolipop is great
I call him

Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop (pop)
Bobom, bom, bom
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop, lolipop
Oh, loli, loli, loli
Lolipop
Oh lolipop
