Lyrics

Gets down to the matter
Gets down to the root
To flutter or flatter
In hot pursuit
Like Licorice
Like Licorice
On your tongue
It might get a little ticklish
But it won’t take long
 
Some say they only found one little piece
A relation of Anna and anise
The sweetness of candy
The thrill of your fears
The tart of your tongue
And the salt of your tears
 
Like Licorice
Like Licorice
On your tongue
It might get a little ticklish
But it won’t take long
 
Give ‘em what they want, a promise of a dream
A ticket on a time machine
A voyage to nowhere on a magic stick
Maybe you can give it a lick
 
Like Licorice
Like Licorice
On your tongue
Like Licorice
Like Licorice
On your tongue
 
It might get a little ticklish
But it won’t take long
It won’t take long
It won’t take long
