My boy Lollipop
You make my heart go giddyup
You are as sweet as candy
You're my sugar dandy

Whoa oh, my boy Lollipop
Never ever leave me
Because it would grieve me
My heart told me so

I love you, I love you, I love you so
But I don't want you to know
I need you, I need you, I need you so
And I'll never let you go

My boy Lollipop
You make my heart go giddyup
You set the world on fire
You are my one desire
Whoa, my Lollipop

I love you, I love you, I love you so
But I don't want you to know
I need you, I need you, I need you so
And I'll never let you go

My boy Lollipop
You make my heart go giddyup
You set the world on fire
You are my one desire
Whoa, my Lollipop
Whoa, my Lollipop

My boy Lollipop
My boy Lollipop
My boy Lollipop
My boy Lollipop

Career

Small was born at Gibralter in Clarendon, Jamaica, the daughter of a sugar plantation overseer. Like many Jamaican singers of the era, her career began by winning the Vere Johns Opportunity Hour talent contest at the age of twelve. Wishing to pursue a career as a singer she moved to live with relatives in Love Lane in Kingston. In her teens, she recorded a duet with Owen Gray (“Sugar Plum”) in 1962 and later recorded with Roy Panton for Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One record label as ‘Roy and Millie’. They had a local hit with “We’ll Meet”.
