A Bushel and a Peck
[Intro]
And now, for the grand finale of the Around the World Revue
We take you down on the farm with our star, Miss Adelaide
And the hot box Chick Chick Chickadees!
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Ta-da!
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Chick, chick, chick-chick
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
A barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep
[Refrain]
About you (About you)
Oh, about you (My heart is leapin', I'm havin' trouble sleepin'!)
[Chorus]
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do
[Post-Chorus]
Doodle-oodle-ooh-doo, doodle-oodle-ooh-doo
Doodle-oodle-ooh-doo-doo, c'mon girls!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck, though it beats me all to heck
Beats me all to heck how I'll ever tend the farm
Ever tend the farm when I wanna keep my arm
[Refrain]
About you (About you)
Oh, about you (Because the chickens are going to the dickens!)
[Chorus]
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do
[Bridge]
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me
[Chorus]
And I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do
[Outro]
Doodle-oodle-ooh-doo, goodbye now!
