I Love You a Bushel and a Peck

I love you a bushel and peck,
A bushel and peck and a hug around the neck,
A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap,
A barrel and a heap and I'm talking in my sleep -
About you, about you!

Cause I love you a bushel and a peck,
You bet your pretty neck, I do!
Doodle, oodle, oodle,
Doodle, oodle, oodle,
Doodle, oodle, oodle doo!

I love you a bushel and peck,
A bushel and peck though you make my heart a wreck,
You make my heart a wreck and you make my 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,
You bet your pretty neck, I do!
Doodle, oodle, oodle,
Doodle, oodle, oodle,
Doodle, oodle, oodle doo!

I love you a bushel and peck,
A bushel and peck and it beats me all to heck,
Beats me all to heck and I'll never tend the farm,
I'll never tend the farm when I wanna keep my arm,
About you, about you!

Cause I love you a bushel and a peck,
You bet your pretty neck, I do!
Doodle, oodle, oodle,
Doodle, oodle, oodle,
Doodle, oodle, oodle doo!
