Lyrics
- There’s a place to go
Where the breezes blow
And the hum of the bumble bee
As he buzzes by ‘neath a tinted sky
In a sweet, honeyed melody
Take your sweetheart true
To this place with you
There’s a spot where no one can see
You can lovey, lovey, love
With your dovey, dovey, dove
Under the Yum Yum tree
Chorus
Under the Yum & Yum tree
That’s the Yumiest place to be
When you take your baby by the hand
There’ll be something doing
Down in Yum Yum land
That is the place to play
With your honey, and kiss all day
When you’re all by your lonely
You and your only Yum! Yum!
Yummy, Yummy, Yum
Under the Yum Yum Tree
- Yum Yum tree just grew
In the land of “Coo”
It was planted by old King “Spoon”
Even birds that fly in it’s branches high
Sing a soft little loving tune
Cupid and his band haunt that goo-goo land
And a dart in your heart there’ll be
If you spoony, spoony, spoon
‘Neath the moony, moony, moon
Under the Yum Yum tree
