Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand

Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?

Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me

Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee

 

I'd feel so rich in a hut for two

Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do

Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land

And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
