"Yummy Yummy Yummy" is a bubblegum pop song by Arthur Resnick and Joey Levine, first recorded by Ohio Express in 1968. Their version reached #4 in the U.S. Pop Singles chart in June and #5 in the U.K. Singles Chart. It has since been covered by many artists. Ohio Express was a studio concoction and none of the "official" members appear on the record. Joey Levine sang lead vocals.
Timon and Pumbaa sang a version of the song with altered lyrics in a music video featured at the end of the 11th episode of Timon & Pumbaa, as they express their fondness for eating bugs. As they perform the song, Timon and Pumbaa fight over a single bug, only to find out at the end that the insect they've been pursuing is a stink bug. This version was also included in the 2003 edition of the Disney Sing Along Songs video Disney Sing Along Songs: Circle of Life.
From 2008 to 2010, the song was used for the Ratatouille unit in the Disney California Adventure version of the Pixar Play Parade.
Lyrics[]
Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy
And I feel like a-loving you
Love, you're such a sweet thing
Good enough to eat thing
And that's just a-what I'm gonna do
Oh love, to hold ya
Oh love, to kiss ya
Oh love, I love it so
Oh love, you're sweeter
Sweeter than sugar
Oh love, I won't let you go
Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy
And as silly as it may seem
The loving that you're giving
Is what keeps me living
And your love is like
Peaches and cream
Kind-a like sugar
Kind-a like spices
Kind-a like, like what you do
Kind-a sounds funny
But love, honey
And honey, I love you
Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy
That your love can satisfy
Love, you're such a sweet thing
Good enough to eat thing
And sweet thing, that ain't no lie
I love to hold ya
I love, to kiss ya
Oh love, I love it so
Oh love, you're sweeter
Sweeter than sugar
Oh love, I won't let you go
Timon:
