Lyrics
When I ask you honey, do you love me
You say, let me think it over, dear
Why should you need time to say you love me
Here is something you should hear
Refrain
Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson
You an say I love you
And wouldn’t you rather say
I love you than Jack Robinson
Quicker than you can walk around the block
You can be kissing me
And wouldn’t you rather be kissing me
Than walk around the block
Sixty minutes make an hour
Three feet make a yard
Thirty days are in September
And if you want to know, statistics show
Quicker than you can say Jack Robinson
You can say I love you
And wouldn’t you rather say
I love you than Jack Robinson
