You can hear this parody at WFMU's Beware of the Blog. It's from "Homer and Jethro Fracture Frank Loesser."


A BUSHEL AND A PECK
As sung by Homer & Jethro

Doodle-oodle-doodle, doodle-oodle-doodle,
Doodle-oodle-doo-die-doo.

I love you a bushel and a peck,
A bushel and a peck and a rope around my neck,
A rope around my neck and it chokes me all to heck.
You got my eyes a-buggin' out, so loosen up a speck
Or I'm through
Without you.
I love you a bushel and a peck.
You bet your dirty neck I do.

Doodle-oodle-doodle, doodle-oodle-doodle,
Doodle-oodle-doo-die-doo.

I love you a bushel and a peck,
A bushel and a peck and it beats me all to heck,
Beats me all to heck how I'll ever feed the hogs,
Ever feed the hogs when I'm goin' to the dogs
About you,
About you.
I love you a bushel and a peck.
You bet your dirty neck I do.

I love you a bushel and a peck,
A bushel and a peck though you make me awful tard. [tired
You make me awful tard like I been a-workin' hard.
You got my heart as heavy as a bucketful o' lard
About you,
About you.
I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your dirty neck I—
Bet your dirty neck I—
Bet your dirty neck I—
Do,
Do,
Doodle-oo.
