Lyrics

  1. I don’t know why I am so very shy
    I always was demure
    I never knew what silly lovers do
    No flirting I’d endure
    In all my life I’ve never kissed a man
    I’ve never winked my eye
    But now at last I’m going to break the ice
    So how’d you like to try?

Chorus
How’d you like to spoon with me? (I’d like to)
How’d you like to spoon with me? (Well rather)
Sit beneath an oak tree large and shady
Call me little tootsy wootsy baby
How’d you like to hug and squeeze? (Indeed I would)
Dangle me upon your knees (Oh if I could)
How’d you like to be my lovey dovey
How’d you like to spoon with me?

  1. Well I should say I’d spoon with you all day
    You fascinate me so
    You are so cute you really are a beaut
    Through life with you I’d go
    If we were wed our married life would be
    One steady honeymoon
    From six A. M. ’til twelve o’clock at night
    Why all we’d do is spoon
