Lyrics
- I’ve heard it intimated
If you were syndicated
You’d be appreciated more, baby
But this is my reaction
Addition and subtraction
Have proven to a fraction
Why I love you
Chorus
Take a little honey
Add a smile so sunny
Who’s the little honey?
That’s you, baby
Take a blushing Rosie
Add the cutest nosie
Who’s the little Rosie?
That’s you, baby
You are perfection to a “T”
After inspection I can see
You for me
Take a bashful baby
Add a little “Maybe”
Who’s the little baby? That’s you
- The things you’ve calculated
Are not so complicated
For I’ve been educated, too, Baby
On problems mathematic
I also am fanatic
I’ll make it quite emphatic
Why I love you
Chorus
Take a certain party
Add a bit of smarty
Who’s the certain Party?
That’s you, baby
Take a little Devil
Add some on-the-level
Who’s the Handsome Devil?
That’s you, Baby
Oh, what a personality
After rehearsin’
On your knee, you for me
Take the one that I love
Add a lot of my love
Who’s the one that I love? That’s you
Chorus
Take a sugar cookie
Add some snookie ookie
Who’s the sugar Cookie?
That’s you, Baby
Take a great big Papa
Loves his little Mama
Who’s the great big Papa?
That’s you, Baby
If oo is bad girl, I call down
I’d be a sad girl, I faw down, I faw down
Take a poodgy woodgy
Add some could she could she
Who’s the poodgy woodgy? That’s you
