Like the Strangeloves' "I Want Candy," this doo-wop soul song is not about confectionery, but — naturally — a girl. The narrator, a young Shakespeare in search of a sonnet, compares her eyes to the sky and her voice to the mountain dew. And, "She's just a lump of sugar / And sweetened my tea." Curtis Johnson's falsetto voice fits the sugary pop of the song.
