Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodle-doodle-doo-doo
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 2]
Whatcha doin', Hutton?
Doodlin', can you doodle?
Can I doodle? I can't get it out of my noodle
How come?
[Verse 3]
'Cause I love you, a bushel & a peck
A bushel & a peck and a hug around the neck (Ouch)
Hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
Barrel and a heap and I'm talking in my sleep
[Verse 4]
About you (About me?)
Yes, about you (Hy heart is leapin', havin' trouble sleepin')
'Cause I love you, a bushel & a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do
[Verse 5]
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodle-doodle-doo-doo
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 6]
Do you like me, Perry?
Oh, very, do you like me, Hutton?
Like a glutton
So where's your Como button?
[Verse 7]
I love you, a bushel & a peck (How much?)
A bushel & 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
[Verse 8]
About you (About me?)
Yes, about you (You're gonna grieve me, if 'en you ever leave me)
'Cause I love you, a bushel & a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do
[Verse 9]
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodle-doodle-doo-doo
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 10]
It's gettin' kind of quiet around here
Oh, we can fix that, Perry boy, let's go
[Verse 11]
I love you, a bushel & a peck
A bushel & a peck and it beats me 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
[Verse 12]
About you
About you, the cows and chickens, let 'em go to the dickens
'Cause I love you, a bushel & a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do
[Verse 13]
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodle-doodle-doo-doo
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo-doo, it's gettin' kinda quiet again
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodle-doodle-doo-doo
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo-doo, an octave lower please
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodle-doodle-doo-doo
Doodle-doodle-doo-doo-doo
