Lyrics

  1. I love you a bushel and a peck
    A bushel and a peck
    And a hug around the neck
    Hug around the neck
    And a barrel and a heap
    Barrel and a heap
    And I’m talkin’ in my sleep
    About you, about you
    ‘Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
    Y’ bet your purty neck I do
    Doodle oodle oodle
    Doodle oodle oodle
    A-doodle oodle oodle ooo
  2. I love you a bushel and a peck
    A bushel and a peck
    Tho’ you make my heart a wreck
    Make my heart a wreck
    And you make me life a mess
    Make my life a mess
    Yes a mess of happiness
    About you, about you
    ‘Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
    Y’ bet your purty neck I do
    Doodle oodle oodle
    Doodle oodle oodle
    A-doodle oodle oodle ooo
  3. I love you a bushel and a peck
    A bushel and 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 arm
    About you, about you
    ‘Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
    Y’ bet your purty neck I do
    Doodle oodle oodle
    Doodle oodle oodle
    A-doodle oodle oodle ooo
