[MASTER OF CEREMONIES, spoken]
And now for the grand finale of our round the world revue
We take you down on the farm with our star, Miss Adelaide
And the Hot Box Chick Chick Chickadees!

[HOT BOX GIRLS, spoken]
Oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
Hello!
Oh, oh!
Chick, chick, chick-chick
Ooh, ooh!

[ADELAIDE]
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
A barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
About you (About you)

[ADELAIDE]
Oh, about you

[HOT BOX GIRLS, spoken]
My heart is leapin', I'm havin' trouble sleepin'
[ADELAIDE]
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
Doodle-oodle-oodle
Doodle-oodle-oodle
Doodle-oodle-oodle, doo

[ADELAIDE, spoken]
Come on, girls
Wee, woo

[HOT BOX GIRLS, spoken]

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck though it beats me all to heck

[ADELAIDE]
Beats me all to heck how I'll ever tend the farm
Ever tend the farm when I wanna keep my arm

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]
About you (About you)
[ADELAIDE]
Oh, about you

[HOT BOX GIRLS, spoken]
The cows and chickens are goin' to the dickens

[ADELAIDE]
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do

He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS, spoken]
Oh!

He loves me
And I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck I do

[ADELAIDE & HOT BOX GIRLS]

Wee, woo
