Lyrics

  1. Little Freddie Ray is a very bashful chap
    Still I’m here to say Freddie isn’t any sap
    He’s in love with a cutey, she is really a beauty
    He gets tongue-tied when she’s by his side

Chorus
He whispers I love, lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-love you dear
Indeed I do
I hope that you love, lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-love me dear
Like I love you
I wish that I could stop my heart from fluttering
That’s the reason I am stuttering
Just the same what I claim is true
I think that your kiss, ki-kiss, ki-kiss
Your kiss is simply just divine
It brings me such bliss, bl-bliss, bl-bliss
Such bliss to press your lips to mine
It’s always like this, like this, th-this, like this
Each word I’m uttering I’m always stuttering
When I’m with you

  1. When he says goodnight Freddie always has a rule
    He turns down the light hanging in the vestibule
    Tho’ he starts to leave early
    He stands there with his girlie
    Till her mother comes down after her
