Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- A bashful boy, a maiden coy so lonely
A lover’s quarrel on the sand
He says, “Don’t go, I love you so you only”
And then he gently holds her hand
“Now here’s your ring, the only thing, I owe you
There’s nothing now that you owe me”
But he says, “Wait, I’ll get my slate and show you
Page one on Cupid’s notebook, you will see”
Chorus
I, O, U a squeezing, you owe me a kiss
If you don’t stop teasing, I will tell you this
I’m going to pay you double
I, O, U a hugging, you will get it, too
And besides there’s lots of things that I O U
- If one I take that doesn’t make a million
He murmured as he holds her tight
I owe you pet some kisses yet, a billion
I took when first we said “Goodnight”
I can’t deceive, I don’t believe in cheating
She sighed ‘Twould fill my heart with pain
And soon their lips like honey drips were meeting
And every time they kissed he’d say again
