Here's another clip from YouTube that includes the other scenes:


EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU
Words by Bert Kalmar, music by Harry Ruby.
From "Horse Feathers" (1932)

[The following part is sung by Zeppo:]

Everyone says "I love you,"
The cop on the corner and the burglar too,
The preacher in the pulpit and the man in the pew
Says, "I love you."

Everyone, no matter who,
The folks over eighty and the kid of two,
The captain and the sailor and the rest of the crew,
Says, "I love you."

There are only eight little letters in this phrase, you'll find,
But they mean a lot more than all the other words combined.

Everywhere the whole world through,
The king in the palace and the peasant too,
The tiger in the jungle and the monk' in the zoo
Says, "I love you."

[There follows a whistling verse by Harpo.]

[The following part is sung by Chico in a different scene:]

Everyone says "I love you,"
The great big mosquito when-a he sting you,
The fly when he get stuck on the flypaper too,
Says, "I love you."

Every time the cow says "moo,"
She's-a make-a the bull-a very happy too,
And the rooster when he holler "cock-a-doodly-doodly-do"
Says, "I love you."

Christopher Colombo he write-a queen of Spain a very nice-a little note,
And he's write "Hello to you from me" and then he get himself a great-a big-a boat.
(He's a wise-a guy.)

What do you think Colombo do
When he's-a come here in fourteen-ninety-two?
He say to Pocahontas, "Otchy-votchy-gotchy-goo."
That means, "You little son-of-a-gun, I love you."
