[ Featuring Bob Crosby's Bobcats, Chickadees ]
If I had a nickel, I know what I would do,
I'd spend it all for candy and I'd give it all to you!
I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you,
'Cause that's how much I love you, baby,
That's how much I love you, baby!
If you were a picture I'd hang you up on the wall,
Sit back where I could see you and I'd never move at all!
Sit back where I could see you, never move at all!
'Cause that's how much I love you, baby,
That's how much I love you, baby!
If you were a kitten with pretty glossy fur,
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr!
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr!
Mm, that's how much I love you, baby,
That's how much I love you, dear!
And if you were a tiger, I'd hang around your den,
And pester you, my honey, until you let me in!
And pester you, my honey, 'til you let me in!
'Cause that's how much I love you, baby,
That's how much I love you, baby!
Baby, if you were a horsefly and I an old grey mare,
I'd stand and let you bite me and I'd never move a hair!
I'd stand and let you bite me, never move a hair!
'Cause that's how much I love you, baby,
That's how much I love you, baby!
If you want to marry, now le' me tell you what,
We'll go and find a parson and I'll let him tie the knot!
We'll go and find a parson and let him tie the knot!
'Cause that's how much I love you, baby,
That's how much I love you, dear!
When I says I loves ya, honey Chile,
I leans on ya a little bit!
