INTRO:
How glad the many millions of
Annabelles and Lillians would be to capture me
But you had such persistence,
you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome
Romeo
How I won you I shall never,
never know
It's not that you're attractive
but, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie
pie
All the day and nighttime, hear
me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much
emotion
Could you coo? Could you care?
For a cunning cottage we could
share?
The world will pardon my mush
'cause I have got a crush, my
baby, on you
Could you coo? Could you care?
For a cunning cottage that we
could share?
The world will pardon my mush
'cause I have got a crush, my
baby, on you
