Verse: How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians would be to capture me!
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance.
I fell, and it was swell.
I’m your big and brave and handsome Romeo.
How I won you I shall never, never know.
It’s not that you’re attractive, but, oh my heart grew active, when you came into view.

Refrain 1: I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie.
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh.
I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion.
Could you coo? Could you care for a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush, ’cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you.

Refrain 2: I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie.
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh.
This isn’t just a flirtation;
We’re proving that there’s predestination.
I could coo, I could care for that cunning cottage we could share.
Your mush I never shall shush, ’cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you.
