Little girls have pretty curls, but I like Oreos

O – R – EO’s

I need the words of the above jingle for the Oreo commercial that made
that phrase memorable.

As I recall, those are the last two lines of the jingle.

Hello gubbool, 

As noted in your comment, I am posting some additional jingles that
are close to the one I had initially found.

Here is the original one that I had posted in the comments area:
Little girls have pretty curls  
But I like Oreos. 
Oreo's the best because  
It's the very best cookie ever was. 
Girls are nice but oh what ic-ing comes with Oreos.

Here are some additional renditions that are close to the one that I
found:

"Little girls have pretty curls,
But I like Oreos.
Oreos
The Best Because
Best Darn Cookie 
Ever Was....
Girls are nice, 
But Oh what icing
On my Oreos
(Repeat chorus)"

Here is also one with a different twist:

Yer darn tootin', I like  
Little girls have pretty curls, but I like   
I'd fly to the moon, for a ...?
Dad's?  Oreo?  Marshmallow Puff?

There are numerous spots on the internet that have just posted the
lines “Little girls have pretty curls, But I like Oreos,” but these
are the most complete ones that I was able to find.

I would also like to let you know that I have emailed both Nabisco and
Kraft Foods and am hoping that they will be able to email or mail me
the exact wording of the original jingle (maybe even an audio clip),
which I could then post here for you. I will post any reply that I
receive from them as a clarification to this question. (You should
receive an email alert if this happens).

Please let me know if you require any clarifications regarding this
answer, and I will do my best to further assist you.

Clarification of Answer by tisme-ga on 11 Jul 2003 14:31 PDT

I finally received a reply from Kraft, but it probably is not going to
help all that much as they seem to have given the words to a different
jingle:

O-O-O Who's that kid with the OREO cookie
Lickin' up the creamy middle
Like he did when he was little
Oh, that yummy O-R-E-O

O-O-O Who's that kid with the OREO cookie
Dunkin' all the luscious chocolate
Lovin' every little bit
It's hard to hide the kid inside
When you're crunchin' O-R-E-O.

When I pointed out that it was a different jingle, the reply was:

"Thanks for visiting our web site.  As much as we'd like to assist
you, the
information you're requesting isn't currently available.  We apologize
for any disappointment this may cause."

Tisme's work is through, speedy, and the answers concise.  I would
like to have a full video clip of the commercial, who wouldn't; and,
Tisme indicates that I might yet have more with which to work. I
consider myself web-wise and yet I had very poor success with the
jingle.  Considering the tools and effort that I used and the result
that I had, I feel qualified to say that Tisme did an excellent job.

Hello gubbool,

This was as close as I was able to get:

Little girls have pretty curls 
But I like Oreos.
Oreo's the best because 
It's the very best cookie ever was.
Girls are nice but oh what ic-ing comes with Oreos.

Let me know if this is the jingle you were looking for.

I think that tisme has the answer.  Various people have posted
variations on these lyrics, but with only small differences.  Everyone
seems to remember the precise lyrics slightly differently, but the
basic idea is the same.

I am pleased that tisme took up the challenge so quicly, but I am not
so please with the current reply.

I would like to view any 'nearly-same-words' jingles that may have
been found.
