My dear Radio Audience
Now I shall do
Some of the songs
I've had the pleasure
Of introducing to you
It was not so very long ago
When you heard this little ditty
On your ra-di-o

On The Good Ship Lollipop
It's a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon bons play
On the sunny beach of peppermint bay

And do you remember?

Animal Crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop
Gosh oh gee but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one

And I never ever will
Forget my grandest thrill
The very first time that I sang

An Ordinary day
Becomes a holiday
When I'm with you, hmm hmm
I have lots of toys
But I don't want to play

Yes and I'll never forget it
I sat in my Daddy's lap and whispered

Oh Daddy how I miss you
Your busy all your life
I love to hug and kiss you
Marry me and let me be your wife

Ahhhh but it's great to reminisce
When I sang to my little Dutch Dolly
Just Like this

Sometimes I ought to hasche (hate) you
You make me feel so vlue (blue)
But honest I can't hate you
When you smile at me my lovely poopjan
Auckks mine goodness

*Tick Tick Tick*
The clock is ticking the hours away
And so my radio audience
The time has come, for me to say

Goodnight my friends
The tired old moon is descending
Goodnight my friends
My moment with you now is ending

*Whistles*

And So I must leave you
With kindest regards from Rebecca and Crackly Grain Flakes
The Grain Flakes that makes your tummy say "Yum Yum Yummy"
I want all my little friends to close their eyes and dream
For in the morning
It's Crackly Grain Flakes with sugar and cream
Eat it with a smile and life will be worth while
And now in conclusion
Please join me in singing my theme


Goodnight my friends
Sleep tight my friends
God bless you pleasant dreams
Nightie night!
