Here is a 1927 text of this song.
~

I'D LIKE TO BE A FRIEND OF YOURS

I'd like to be a friend of yours,
Um-m and a little bit more;
I'd like to be a pal of yours,
Um-m and a little bit more.
I'd like to be a little flower,
A-bloomin' round your door;
Then I'd have all that's comin' to me,
Um-m and a little bit,
Um-m and a little bit,
Um-m and a little bit more.

Note: This text is from pg 53 of Parodology (song #202) by E.O. Harbin (Cokesbury Press: Nashville, Tenn. 1927)
