I remember
 
When I was just a boy,
I’d sit right down,
Summer afternoons
 
Would fill me up with joy
Turn on the TV.
I’d sit right down,
 
Turn on the TV.
Every day
Every day
 
I’d giggle mischeviously.
I’d giggle mischeviously.
 
I remember
 
Laughing like a buffoon
I remember
When I’d watch him
 
On Nick in the Afternoon.
Laughing like a buffoon
He was my favorite thing
 
About Nick,
When I’d watch him
Yes that little
 
Popsicle, Stick Stickly!
On Nick in the Afternoon.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh!)
 
 
And he’d sing,
He was my favorite thing
“Write to me,
 
Stick Stickly!
About Nick,
P.O. Box 963
 
New York City,
Yes that little
New York State,
 
10108!
Popsicle, Stick Stickly!
10108!”
 
(Ooh-ooh-ooh!)
It’s been years now,
 
Since his show has aired.
 
We sent a letter, it got
And he’d sing,
Returned, and now we’re scared.
 
Where’d he go?
“Write to me,
What did they do with him
 
When they decided they were
Stick Stickly!
Through with him?
 
P.O. Box 963
Did they break him,
 
Or burn him down for heat?
New York City,
Were his googley eyes
 
Thrown out in the street?
New York State,
Or is he fine?
 
That’s what I’m praying.
10108!
I recall he was always saying,
 
“Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down!”
10108!”
 
And he’d say,
It’s been years now,
“Write to me,
 
Stick Stickly!
Since his show has aired.

History

Stick Stickly was a popular Nickelodeon character from 1995-1998, when he hosted Nick in the Afternoon. Neil actually wrote him a letter several years after the show had stopped airing, and the results are revealed in this song he wrote afterwards

Lyrics

I remember
When I was just a boy,
Summer afternoons
Would fill me up with joy
I’d sit right down,
Turn on the TV.
Every day
I’d giggle mischeviously.

I remember
Laughing like a buffoon
When I’d watch him
On Nick in the Afternoon.
He was my favorite thing
About Nick,
Yes that little
Popsicle, Stick Stickly!
(Ooh-ooh-ooh!)

And he’d sing,
“Write to me,
Stick Stickly!
P.O. Box 963
New York City,
New York State,
10108!
10108!”

It’s been years now,
Since his show has aired.
We sent a letter, it got
Returned, and now we’re scared.
Where’d he go?
What did they do with him
When they decided they were
Through with him?

Did they break him,
Or burn him down for heat?
Were his googley eyes
Thrown out in the street?
Or is he fine?
That’s what I’m praying.
I recall he was always saying,
“Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down!”

And he’d say,
“Write to me,
Stick Stickly!
P.O. Box 963
New York City,
New York State,
10108!
10108!
10108!
10108!”
