If I had a nickel, I know what I would do,

I'd spend it all for candy and I'd give it all to you.

I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you.

'Cause that's how much I love you, baby.

That's how much I love you, baby.

If you were a picture, I'd hang you up on the wall,

Sit back where I could see you and I'd never move at all.

Sit back where I could see you, never move at all.

'Cause that's how much I love you, baby.

That's how much I love you, baby.

<musical interlude>

If you were a kitten, with pretty glossy fur,

I'd take you up and stroke you, listen to you purr.

I'd take you up and stroke you, listen to you purr.

Mmmm, that's how much I love you, baby.

That's how much I love you, dear.

And if you were a tiger, I'd hang around your den,

And pester you, my honey, until you let me in.

And pester you, my honey, till you let me in.

'Cause that's how much I love you, baby.

That's how much I love you, baby.

<instrumental>

Baby, if you were horse fly and I an old gray mare,

I'd stand and let you bite me, and I'd never move a hair.

I'd stand and let you bite me, never move a hair.

'Cause that's how much I love you, baby.

That's how much I love you, baby.

If you want to marry, now let me tell you what,

We'll go and find a parson, and I'd let him tie the knot.

We'll go and find a parson, and let him tie the knot.

'Cause that's how much I love you, baby.

That's how much I love you, dear.

When I say you I love you, honey child, I leans on you a little bit.
