[Chorus 1]
My baby likes (Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
He likes it greasy (Buttered popcorn)
And sticky (Buttered popcorn)
And gooey (Buttered popcorn)
And salty (Buttered popcorn)
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like (Buttered popcorn)

[Verse 1]
He took me to a show (Buttered popcorn)
He said he wanted some more (Buttered popcorn)
I said kiss me please (Buttered popcorn)
He said after I eat (Buttered popcorn)

[Refrain]
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like (Buttered popcorn)

[Chorus 2]
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats (Buttered popcorn, buttered popcorn)
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do (Buttered popcorn, buttered popcorn)
When I asked him what was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more

[Chorus 1]
My baby likes (Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
He likes it greasy (Buttered popcorn)
And sticky (Buttered popcorn)
And gooey (Buttered popcorn)
And salty (Buttered popcorn)
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn

[Chorus 2]
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats (Buttered popcorn, buttered popcorn)
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do (Buttered popcorn, buttered popcorn)
When I asked him
What was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more

[Chorus 1]
My baby likes (Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
(Buttered popcorn)
He likes it greasy (Buttered popcorn)
And sticky (Buttered popcorn)
And gooey (Buttered popcorn)
And salty (Buttered popcorn)
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like (Buttered popcorn)
