Chorus
All day long he calls her
Snooky ookums, snooky ookums
All they do is talk like babies
She’s his jelly-elly roll
He’s her sugey-ugar bowl
Here’s the way they bill and coo
Poogy woo, poogy woo, poogy woo
All night long he calls her
Snooky ookums, snooky ookums
All night long the neighbors shout
“Cut it out! cut it out! cut it out!”
They cry, “For goodness sake!
Don’t keep us all awake with your
Snooky, ookey, ookey, baby talk!”
