A Bushel & A Peck Songtext
von Perry Como

(doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
Doodle oodle ooh doo, doo!)

What′cha doin' hutton?
Doodlin′ . . . can you doodle?
Can I doodle? ~ I can't get it outta my noodle!

How come?

'cause I love you a bushel an′ a peck,
A bushel an′ a peck and a hug around the neck (ouch!)
Hug around the neck and a barrel an' a heap,
Barrel an′ a heap an' I′m talkin' in my sleep!
About you! (about me?) yes, about you!
My heart is leapin′, havin' trouble sleepin'!
′cause I love you a bushel an′ a peck,
You bet your purdy neck I do!

(doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
Doodle oodle ooh doo, doo!)


Do you like me perry? oh very, do you like me hutton?
Like a glutton! so, where's your como button?
Oh! I love you a bushel an′ a peck (how much?)
A bushel an' a peck though you make my heart a wreck!
Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess,
Make my life a mess, yes a mess of happiness!
About you! (about me?) yes, about you!
You′re gonna grieve me, if an' you ever leave me!
′cause I love you a bushel an' a peck,
You bet your purdy neck I do!

(doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
Doodle oodle ooh doo, doo!)

Heh heh, it's gettin′ kinda quiet around here!
Oh! we can fix that perry boy! let′s go!
I love you a bushel an' a peck,
A bushel an′ a peck and it beats be all to heck,
Beats me all to heck how I'll ever tend the farm
Ever tend the farm when I wanna keep my arms about you!
About you, the cows an′ chickens, let em go to the dickens
'cause I love you a bushel an′ a peck,
You bet your purdy neck I do!

(doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
Doodle oodle ooh doo, doo!)

. . . it's gettin' kinda quiet again!

(doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
Doodle oodle ooh doo, doo!)

. . . an octave lower please!

(doodle oodle ooh doo, doodle oodle ooh doo,
Doodle oodle ooh doo, doo!)
