Is there an IPA symbol for that?

No symbol sadly.

I think IPA limits itself to noises made by mouth and throat parts.

There was also the song by Millie Small

My Boy Lollipop
pop,pop,pop,pop
You make my heart go, giddy-up
pop,pop,pup,pop
You are as sweet as candy,
You're my sugar dandy

Ok, ok, quiet everybody. Time is money. Together let's try to wax this little tennybopper in just one take!

All right girls, Bel you start; and Branee, Sparteye and Myridon, each of you wait until I point, then join in the chorus. Ok?

And Faldage; you do your special thing two full counts after the girls stop singing.

Got it? Ok, a-one, a-two, a-three...

Secundum OED1: lollipop :- "a. [T]he name of a particular kind of sweetmeat, consisting chiefly of sugar or treacle, that dissolves easily in the mouth. b. pl, (formerly also collect. sing.) Sweetmeats in general." And, our good old friend, Francis Grose [danger! unexploded Wikipedia!] (Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue) is cited: "lollipops, sweet lozenges purchased by children". And, interestingly, it was verbed in 1837: "Mere children in matters of taste, fit only to be lollypopped by his 'lady'" (Fraser's Magazine XV, 337). I guess the USan improvement was to add the stick, as it were.

"Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over."
