salt water taffy pulling
stick sweet something dripping
ruby is waiting
for a little girl to catch her eye
blonde and blue-eyed
she lets out a sucrose sigh
glycerine tears a-falling
corn syrup blood a-pumping
pink sugar heart a-racing
for something little girls don't ask
peachflesh a-quaking
will ruby set her to the task?
ruby
ruby
slip her old poison on me
so soon
you'll see
her white paper jacket is covered
in hard candy dots
(tears off sweet)
her molasses boots hinder her walk
(lick off her feet)
spun sugar lace
marzipan face
entice your sweet tooth
my sweet baby ruth
and make you see truth
like you'll fall from grace
so soon
you'll see
ruby slip her old poison on me
red wax lips go down so smooth
ruby
slip her old poison on me
who needs a sugar daddy if you've
got ruby?
if she'll do for you what she does for me?
gummibear nose
candycorn ears
she'll hurt you so bad you'll cry sugar tears
she'll use her sweet candy to assuage your fears
and slip her old ruby poison into your soul
