They call me sweet papa John
My candy is known for miles around (my candy is known for miles around)
They call me sweet papa John
My candy is known for miles around
Lord, baby when you lick it,
It makes my love come tumbling down (yes it do)
You know they call me sweet papa
'Cause my candy is the best (sure enough)
You know they call me sweet papa
'Cause my candy is the best
You know it melts right in your mouth
Yeah, I sure don't leave no mess, (I ain't sloppy)
You know my candy cane is hard
Dripping honey right to your door
And once you had one piece
Girl, you bound to lose em all
They call me sweet papa 'cause my candy is so strong (yeah, it's evil)
And baby when you taste it
It's bound to take you all night long (all night long)
Yes, I know it's true !
