Now Sooty was a real celebrity, a glove puppet who transcended generations. But perhaps Sooty and Sweep weren't as sweet and innocent as they appeared on screen.

Bye, Bye, Everyone, Bye, Bye

Sooty is 60 years old now
And has had a long career
But behind the sweet façade
There lurks a secret I fear
Sooty and co-star Sweep
Were rivals for the love of Soo
This caused bitter resentment
Still unresolved between the two
Soo’s on screen persona
Was all sweetness and light
But being fought over
Brought her great delight
But this well kept secret
Is not the only one you see
There is another scandal
Lurking to embarrass Sooty
Despite Soo’s on screen image
Off screen she was quite wild
And the dirty little Panda
Had Sooty’s glove child
