By Ohio Express, late 60s. HATED that song. Almost as bad as "Sugar

It converted neatly into a contraception song: "I've got LIFE in my
tummy."

Maybe it was a spin off from this?

“If it says Libby's, Libby's, Libby's on the label, label, label you
will like it, like it, like it on your table, table, table.”

Is it party of the Libby's jingle?

"When it's Libby's, Libby's, Libby's on the label, label, label, you
will llike it, like it, like it, on your table, table, table."

I vaguely remember a song in the rock genre that used to be called
"bubble gum" that went something like "Yummy, yummy. yummy, I've got
love in my tummy and I feel like lovin' you..."

It was by a group like the Monkees or somesuch.
