Lyrics

  1. All that I know of ‘rithmetic
    Is one and one make two
    And that’s the way I estimate that I love you
    Sweetheart, I spend my nights in figuring
    Subtracting me from you
    Which only goest to show that I just know that

Chorus
Me minus you means just nothin’ at all
But me plus you equals love
Night minus moon means no romance at all
But night plus moon equals love
Won’tcha hug a little, snug a little closer
How about that, hm?
Will your answer be a “Yes, Sir” or a “No, Sir?”
Can’t you figure out that?
Me minus you means just nothin’ at all
But me plus you equals love

  1. The days are long when you’re away
    My heart and mind agree
    It’s time to start in makin’ plans
    For you and me, baby.
    No need for fancy sentiments
    It’s plain as A. B. C.
    I hardly need explain that
    It’s quite plain that
