Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand,
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me.
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee.
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two --
Two rooms, a kitchen, I'm sure would do.
Give me not a lot of, just a plot of land,
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand,
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee.
Well I'd feel so rich in a hut for two --
Two rooms and a kitchen I'm sure would do.
Give me not a lot of, just a plot of land,
And thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou pretty,
Thou swell, thou sweet, thou witty, thou grand.
