What a Bunch of Sweeties is a 1972 album by the UK underground group Pink Fairies.

Twink had left the band beore the recording of this album. Former The Move guitarist Trevor Burton occasionally joined the band for gigs and contributes to a couple of tracks.

The sleeve came in a gatefold cover by Edward Barker, the front showing a box full of goodies, the inner gatefold a cartoon strip.

The lyrics for "Pigs Of Uranus" are taken from a Gilbert Shelton comic strip Wonder Warthog versus the Pigs from Uranus. "Walk Don't Run" is a cover of The Ventures song, and there's a cover version of The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There". "Marilyn" featues a drum solo.
