Lyrics:
I was alone on a shelf, in a world by myself
Oh, where could my prince charming be?
But a man come along, made my life like a song
And taught me these words of ecstasy, tenderly
I want some huggin’ and some squeezin’
And some muggin’ and some teasin’
And some stuff like that there
I want some pettin’ and some spoonin’
And some happy honeymoonin’
And some stuff like that there
I used to think that love was just a lot o’ rubbish
A mess o’ cabbage, a mess o’ cabbage
But now my attitude is wholly lovey dovish
And baby you done it!
I want some kissin’ and some hopin’
And some missin’ and some mopin’
And some stuff like that there
I want some leapin’ and some chasin’
And some weapin’ and some pasin’
And some stuff like that there
And when I get a certain feelin’ I confess it
There’s really only one expression to express it
I want some huggin’ and some squeezin’
And some muggin’ and some teasin’
And some stuff like that there
I wanna be hugged, squeezed, mugged, teased
Stuff like that there
I wanna be petted, spooned, honeymooned
Stuff like that there
I used to think romance was bunk
I dug a mickey for the ickies
But all at once my heart was sunk
And baby you done it!
I want some kissin’ and some hopin’
And some missin’ and some mopin’
And some stuff like that there
I want some leapin’ and some chasin’
And some weapin’ and some pacin’
And some stuff like that there
And when I get a certain feelin’ I confess it
There’s really only one expression to express it
I want some huggin’, squeezin’, muggin’, teasin’
And some stuff
Stuff like that there
Stuff like that there
