Lyrics
- Never thought I’d ever fall, said that couldn’t be
I used to laugh at every pair, squeezing in a Morris chair
Folks would say your day will come, just you wait and see
Now I fear that day is here, come on and have your laugh on me
Chorus
Do I, do I, do I love her? you can betcha life I do
Do I, do I, think much of her? you can tell the world I do
She’s something to be proud of, different than the rest
That gal’s a great big crowd of sugary oogary sweet cookies
Do I, do I, snuggle to her? every time we bill and coo
Do I, do I, pudgy woo her, what’s the good of telling you
Does she hug? rather! Squeeze, rather! Love, rather than eat her dinner
Do I, do I, do I love her? you can betcha life I do
- Love comes at you like a shock, hits you and you fall
It’s something that you can’t control, sweeter than a sugar bowl
Never thought I’d be a fool, no, not me at all
Well I feel I’m here to tell, that all my raving was a stall
