A BUSHEL AND A PECK
As recorded by: The Andrew Sisters
Words and music by Frank Loesser

Refrain
A lot of Doodles
I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
Hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
Barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep
About you, about you, about you
My mind is leapin' I'm havin' trouble sleepin'
'Cause I love you (I do) A bushel and a peck
(You bet) You bet your pretty neck that I do.

Refrain

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and though make my heart a wreck
Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess
Make my life a mess and it's a mess of happiness
About you, about you, about you
Although you free me I'll never, never leave - me
I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck that I do.

Refrain

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 tend the farm
Ever tend the farm when I want to keep my arms
About you, about you, about you
The cows and chickens are goin' to the dickens
I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your pretty neck that I do.

Refrain
