Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Papa, papa, papa

Do not lick me with that

Mama, mama, mama

It licked too hot

[Verse 2]

I've got the flippin' hiccups, mama

I've got the flippin' hiccups, papa

[Verse 3]

Mama, mama, mama

I am feelin' sick

Papa, papa, papa

Licked me with the licking stick

[Verse 4]

I've got the flippin' hiccups, mama

I've got the flippin' hiccups, papa

[Verse 5]

Papa, papa, papa

Do not lick me with that

Mama, mama, mama

It licked too hot

[Verse 6]

I've got the flippin' hiccups, mama

I've got the flippin' hiccups, papa

[Verse 7]

Mama, mama, mama

I am feelin' sick

Papa, papa, papa

Licked me with the licking stick

[Verse 8]

I've got the flippin' hiccups, mama

I've got the flippin' hiccups, papa

[Verse 9]

Mama, mama, mama

Please tell daddy

Mama, mama, mama

Do not hit me with that

[Verse 10]

Mama, mama, mama

I'm feelin' pain

Mama, mama, mama

I'm really, really feelin'

[Verse 11]

Mama, tell me

Tell my darling to help me

I can't stand it, I can't, no I can't stand it

No, no
