How come?
'Cause I love you a bushel an' a

Hug around the neck and a barrel an' a

(
How much? )

a peck though you make my heart a wreck!
Make my
heart a wreck and you make my life a mess,
make my life
a mess, yes a mess of happiness!
About

You're gonna grieve me, if an' you
ever leave me!
'Cause I
love you a bushel an' a peck,
