Toot Sweets

Lyrics to Toot Sweets from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Lyrics to Toot Sweets from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where  Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke) and Truly Scrumptious (Sally Ann Howes) are trying to persuade her father to manufacture his new whistling candy – toot sweets.  Written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman

Caractacus:
Don’t waste your pucker on some all day sucker
And don’t try a toffee or cream
If you seek perfection in sugar confection
Well there’s something new on the scene
A mouth full of cheer
A sweet without peer
A musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat.
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The eatable, tweetable treats!

Truly:
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The toot of a flute with the flavor of fruit!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
No longer need candy be mute!

Caractacus:
Don’t waste your pucker on some all day sucker

Truly:
and don’t try a toffee or cream!
If you seek perfection in sugar confection,

Caractacus:
well, there’s something new on the scene:

Truly:
that mouth full of cheer;

Caractacus:
that sweet without peer;

Both:
That musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
A bon-bon to blow on at last has been found
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets,
with tweetable, eatable sound!

Scrumptious:
No–take it away!

Truly:
Father, please! (he takes one)

Scrumptious: Toot! Hmm-Hmm. Toot! Laughter from Truly and her father. (He takes a bite)

Caractacus:
He likes it!

Cast:
Hooray!

Caractacus:
Their value is intrinsic,

Truly:
surpass any mint stick

Kids:
Or marshmallow mouthful you munch

Caractacus:
Though licorice is chewy

Truly:
And gum drops are gooey

Kids:
And chocolate is charming to crunch

Caractacus and Truly:
That savory fife,

Women:
that sweet of your life

Kids and factory workers:
It’s clearly the best of the bunch.
(Dance break)

All:
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!

Caractacus:
That savory fife

Truly:
That sweet of your life

All:
Is clearly the best of the bunch
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
A bon-bon to blow on at last has been found
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The treat that’s so tweetable,
lusciously eatable,
with that unbeatable–(break) sound!
