Lyrics Molasses, Molasses (It's Icky Sticky Goo) - Ella Fitzgerald

Molasses, molasses, it's icky sticky goo
Molasses, molasses, it always sticks to you

There was a man named Pete (Mr. Pete)
Who dearly loved to eat (loved to eat)
He chewed and chewed on so much food
He can't stand on his feet

Molasses, molasses, it's icky sticky goo
Molasses, molasses, it always sticks to you

There was a man named Jack (Mr. Jack)
Who stepped up on a crack (on a crack)
He was so thin he fell right in
And never did come back

Molasses, molasses, it's icky sticky goo
Molasses, molasses, it always sticks to you

Molasses, molasses, it's icky sticky goo
Molasses, molasses, it always sticks to you

I knew a man named Kent (Mr. Kent)
Whose nose was very bent (very bent)
He followed it too far one day
No one knows where Kent went

Molasses, molasses, it's icky sticky goo
Molasses, molasses, it always sticks to you

There was a man named Fred (Mr. Fred)
Who loved to stay in bed (stay in bed)
When, by and by, they wondered why
They found out he was dead

Molasses, molasses, it's icky sticky goo
Molasses, molasses, it always sticks to you
Ooh, the icky sticky goo
