Jerome Kern - Howd You Like To Spoon With Me Lyrics

Performed by Angela Lansbury)

Verse 1

[she]
I don't know why I am so very shy,
I always was demure,
I never knew what silly lovers do,
No flirting I'd endure;
In all my life I've never kissed a man,
I've never winked my eye.
But now at last I'm going to break the ice
So how'd you like to try?

Refrain:

[she]
How'd you like to spoon with me?

[he]
I'd like to

[she]
How'd you like to spoon with me?

[he]
Well rather

[she]
Sit beneath an oak tree large and shady,
Call me little tootsy wootsy baby,
How'd you like to hug and squeeze?

[he]
Indeed I would

[she]
Dangle me upon your knees.

[he]
Oh if I could

[both]
How'd you like to be my lovey dovey
How'd you like to spoon with me?

Verse 2
[he]
Well I should say I'd spoon with you all day,
You fasinate me so,
You are so cute, you really are a beaut,
Through life with you I'd go.
If we were wed our married life
would be one steady honeymoon,
From six A.M. 'til twelve o'clock at night
Why all we'd do is spoon.

Repeat Refrain
