Lyrics

Caractacus: Don't waste your pucker on some all day sucker, And don't try a toffee or cream. If you seek perfection in sugar confection, Well, there's something new on the scene. A mouthful of cheer, A sweet without peer, A musical morsel supreme! Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat. Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! The eatable, tweetable treats!

Truly: Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! The toot of a flute with the flavor of fruit! Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! No longer need candy be mute!

Caractacus: Don't waste your pucker on some all day sucker,

Truly:  and don't try a toffee or cream! If you seek perfection in sugar confection,

Caractacus:  well, there's something new on the scene:

Truly:  that mouth full of cheer;

Caractacus:  that sweet without peer;

Both:  That musical morsel supreme! Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! A bon-bon to blow on at last has been found Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets, with tweetable, eatable sound!

Scrumptious:  No--take it away!

Truly: Father, please! (he takes one) Toot! Hmm-Hmm. Toot! (Laughter from Truly and her father) (He takes a bite)

Caractacus: He likes it!

Cast: Hooray!

Caractacus: Their value is intrinsic,

Truly: surpass any mint stick,

Kids:  Or marshmallow mouthful you munch,

Caractacus: Though licorice is chewy,

Truly: And gum drops are gooey,

Kids: And chocolate is charming to crunch

Caractacus and Truly: That savory fife,

Women: that sweet of your life,

Kids and factory workers: It's clearly the best of the bunch.

(Dance break)

All:  Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets!

Caractacus:  That savory fife,

Truly: That sweet of your life,

All: Is clearly the best of the bunch Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! A bon-bon to blow on at last has been found Toot Sweets! Toot Sweets! The treat that's so tweetable, lusciously eatable, with that unbeatable--(break) sound!
