Lyrics
1. I sat down and wrote a song
Not too short and not too long
Doesn’t mean a gosh darn thing to you
But I hope you like it ’cause I want you to
It’s a tune that’s bound to cling
A simple little thing to sing
Chorus:
H-U-uckle buckle B-U-uckle buckle
That spells huckleberry Pie
T-U-ubble Tubble B-U-ubble Bubble
They’re too hard to try
T-I-ickle tickle P-I-ickle Pickle
Gee that makes me dry
But H-U-uckle huckle B-U-uckle buckle
I love huckleberry Pie
2. I don’t like a song of Spring
I think that’s a silly thing
Mushy little love songs get my goat
Make me feel I want to squeeze a singer’s throat
But this chorus is a treat
Because it speaks of things to eat
