Lyrics
- Come over, come over, and spoon, won’t you please?
Come over, come over, and give us a squeeze
I’d like to, I’d like to, but you’re such a tease
You want me to sit on your knees
You’re over sixteen, have you ever been kissed?
No, I haven’t been kiss’d yet today
Well, if that’s the case, here’s the time and the place
Don’t you scare me or I’ll run away
Chorus
My orchard is short of a peach like you
Peach like me?
Peach like you
I bet you have got quite a few
That’s true, but none like you
I’m short of some hugs and some kisses, too
Honest, true, I’m fond of you
Come over
Don’t want to
Come over, please do
My orchard is short of a peach like you
- Come over, come over, and get in the game
Come over, come over, you’re really too tame
I’d like to, I’d like to, but I am so shy
Yes, honest I am hope to die
Now don’t kid me, ‘cos I can do that myself
I shouldn’t have thought that of you
But don’t think it’s kid when I call you a peach
And no prettier peach ever grew
