Lyrics
- Lindy Lou, Lindy Lou listen here
Nestle close, nestle close to me dear
There’s some honey on your lips
That I would like to taste
What’s the use of leaving
All such sweetness go to waste
Can’t you see, can’t you see no one’s near
I don’t care, I don’t care if they hear
Something’s on my mind, sweet heart
I’ve waited for the day
I could fold you in my arms and say
Chorus
Pucker up your lips, Miss Lindy
Don’t you dare to be so stingy
Hold them ‘way up close to mine
So I can keep on kissing
Kissing all the time
Don’t you get a scared, Miss Lindy
At what I’m goin’ to say to you
‘Cause I told your Ma, she told Pa
They said yes, so there you are
You’re mine, mine, mine for all the time
Miss Lindy, Lindy, Lindy Lou
- Tell me dear, tell me dear, why you sigh
Ain’t you glad, ain’t you glad, bye and bye
We will be so happy, honey, happy as can be
If you only tell me that you want no one but me
Wedding bells, wedding bells soon will chime
You’ll be mine, you’ll be mine all the time
Honey, don’t be bashful
Pluck up courage, don’t say nay
And I’ll have a parson hear me say
