It’s Like Taking Candy From a Baby

~ Song

Annotation

three co-writers Bob Russell, Al Russell, and Joey Cowan are verified here: https://www.uncamarvy.com/DoRayMe/dorayme.html though it's unclear if Bob and Al Russell are brothers or otherwise related (the latter has a brother named Isaac "Snookum" Russell according to the article). BUT it's uncertain if it is this Bob Russell (US songwriter/lyricist Sidney Keith “Bob” Russell) who's a white male.
