Shirley Temple Turns 80!

My husband and my daughter watched the classic movie, The Little Princess, with Shirley Temple a short while back.

Shirley Temple turns 80 years old on April 23. Her popularity rose to a peak in 1934 during the Depression.
Here she is singing "On The Good Ship Lollipop",

Interesting trivia: In 1939 Shirley Temple's career began to slow down and she lost the lead in The Wizard Of Oz to Judy Garland after Fox refused to loan her to MGM.

On The Good Ship Lollipop
From the movie Bright Eyes (1934)
Lyrics/Music S.Clare & R.Whiting

-----

On the good ship lollipop
Its a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay

Lemonade stands everywhere
Crackerjack bands fill the air
And there you are!
Happy landing on a chocolate bar

See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much ooh ooh
You'll awake with a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop
Its a night trip into bed you hop
And dream away
On the good ship lollipop

The website, Daily Mail, from England provides a good article full of many details of Shirley Temple's life
