I might as well confess it
You've got me in your spell
And you don't have to guess it
I kind of think you're swell
Don't want to see a doctor
But someone I must tell

I'll have to see my broker 
Find out what he can do
'Cause I'm in the market for you

There won't be any joker
With margin I'm all through 
'Cause I want you outright, it's true 

You're going up, up, up in my estimation
I want a thousand shares of your caresses, too 

We'll count the hugs and kisses
When dividends are due 
'Cause I'm in the market for you

I'll have to see my broker
Find out what he can do
'Cause I'm in the market for you

You might find there's a joker
A big reaction, too
'Cause my ticker tells me it's due

You're going up, up ,up in my estimation
But many wiser heads have been mistaken, too 

You've got me in a corner
Now show me what to do
'Cause I'm in the market for you
