A Bushel & A Peck

( 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 ! )
