Lyrics
1. I know your name, but all the same
I have been thinking that it doesn’t suit
You’re pretty style, you’re pretty smile
Don’t match the name you’ve got, for you’re too cute
So, let’s arrange now for a change
I know a name fits you better than all
You’ll always be “Cutey” to me
So I’ll call you when I call
Chorus:
Cutey, just as sweet as Tutti Frutti
That name just suits you to a “T”
And you look good to me
Oh Cutey, you’re a fascinating beauty
For there is something cute about you, Cutey dear
2. Cutey to you I will be too
And if you love me, call me by that name
It’s plain to see you’re meant for me
So, I think that we two should be the same
Honest, I swear, that I don’t care
What others call you, that’s what you’ll remain
Cutey will cling to us and bring
Joy when we sing this refrain
