Lyrics
Oh! take me, please take me,
any place you want to go,
Oh! make me, just, make me,
happy, for I love you so,
how much I love you’ll never know,
then wed me, yes, wed me,
that is what you ought to do,
for I will be your honey, dear,
and I will bank the money,
for I think an awful lot of you,
you can bet your little life I do.
2. You offer your protection,
to which I’ve no objection,
you tender me affection, so sweetly.
You say I’ll bear inspection,
you jolly my complexion,
but you don’t pop the question, discreetly.
If you’ll follow my direction,
through life without exception,
I’ll promise no deception,
you know dear.
For I’ve found a rendezvous,
that is big enough for two,
it was built my dear for you,
now will you go dear.
We’ll call it something a propos,
my sweetheart’s bungalow.
Oh! take me, please take me,
to your little bungalow,
Oh! make me, just, make me,
happy, for I love you so,
how much I love you’ll never know,
then wed me, yes, wed me,
that is what you ought to do,
for you can do the ruling,
honest honey I’m not fooling,
for I think an awful lot of you,
you can bet your little life I do.
