Since there is a different second chorus in the recorded version of "A Screwball's Love Song" (as opposed to the live version on You Tube from the Old Radio Barn Dance), here are the lyrics: Achin' hearts, breakin' hearts, lonely sad forsaken hearts Have made all love songs sound the same to me But such corny lines my dear won't be whispered in your ear When I croon my brand new love song tenderly Oh my lungs are plumb collapsing over you And I'm gettin' me a stomach ulcer too If you ever treat me mean it is sure to bust my spleen And my blood veins would be miserable too When you smile it fills my tonsils full of joy Please don't use my adenoids for just a toy I'm in love from A to izzard so don't trifle with my gizzard 'Cause I've gone and lost my liver dear to you (instrumental break) I hear silent love calls when I gaze into your eyeballs My eardrums beat for you alone it's true I love the way you giggle and can make your little ears wiggle And no one else pops bubble gum like you (popping sound) I've got chronic indigestion over you 'Cause I'm wonderin' if your fickle liver's true If you ever go away I'll have hiccups every day And my lonely sad appendix will be blue When you clobber me with your two lips of fire I can feel my toenails curling with desire All the geese on my goose pimples honk and quack about your dimples Baby doll with all my gizzard I love you Written by Boudleaux Bryant Released as a single, December 1952
