How glad the many millions
Of Toms and Dicks and Williams
Would be to capture me

But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell
And it was swell

You're my big and brave
And handsome Romeo
How I won you
I will never never know

It's not that you're attractive
But oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime
Hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion

[Verse 3:]
Could you coo?
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush
My baby, on you

Could you coo?
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I have got a crush
My baby, on you
