I love you
A bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
Barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep
[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
About you (About you)

A bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck
Though it beats me all to heck
Beats me all to heck how I'll ever tend the farm
Ever tend the farm when I wanna keep my arm
