A Bushel And A Peck lyrics

( Doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
doodle oodle ooh doo, doo ! )

What`cha doin` Hutton?
Doodlin` . . . can you doodle?
Can I doodle? ~ I can`t get it outta my noodle!

How come?

`Cause I love you a bushel an` a peck,
a bushel an` a peck and a hug around the neck ( Ouch! )
Hug around the neck and a barrel an` a heap,
barrel an` a heap an` I`m talkin` in my sleep!
About you! ( About me? ) Yes, about you!
My heart is leapin`, havin` trouble sleepin` !
`Cause I love you a bushel an` a peck,
you bet your purdy neck I do!

( Doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
doodle oodle ooh doo, doo ! )

Do you like me Perry? Oh very, do you like me Hutton?
Like a glutton! So, where`s your `Como` button?
Oh! I love you a bushel an` a peck ( How much? )
a bushel an` a peck though you make my heart a wreck!
Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess,
make my life a mess, yes a mess of happiness!
About you! ( About me? ) Yes, about you!
You`re gonna grieve me, if an` you ever leave me!
`Cause I love you a bushel an` a peck,
you bet your purdy neck I do!

( Doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
doodle oodle ooh doo, doo ! )

Heh heh, it`s gettin` kinda quiet around here!
Oh! we can fix that Perry boy! Let`s go!
I love you a bushel an` a peck,
a bushel an` a peck and it beats be all to heck,
beats me all to heck how I`ll ever tend the farm
ever tend the farm when I wanna keep my arms about you!
About you, the cows an` chickens, let em go to the dickens
`Cause I love you a bushel an` a peck,
you bet your purdy neck I do!

( Doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
doodle oodle ooh doo, doo ! )

. . . it`s gettin` kinda quiet again!

( Doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
doodle oodle ooh doo, doo ! )

. . . an octave lower please!

( Doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
doodle oodle ooh doo, doo ! )
