The way a light needs a socket
Kangaroos a pocket
Baby, I need you

The way a lad needs a lassie
Demi- must have -tasse
Baby, I need you

You are to me
Like salt to the sea
To illustrate
You make me palpitate

The way a goat needs angora
Glocca needs a-Morra
Baby, I need you

The way the spring needs the Rockies
Disc must have their jockeys
The way a beach needs an ocean
Winchell needs his lotion
The way a lake needs a water
Crosby wants a daughter
Capitol records needs Johnny Mercer
But Mercer needs a worser
You are to me
Like salt to the sea
To illustrate:
You make me generate

The way a bed needs a pillow
(We all need Patrillo)
Baby, I need you
Baby, I need you
