Some girls keep their sweeties guessing,
But I'm different, I'm confessing
That I'm crazy over you.


Oh, I admit that you're my big moment,
I never knew what a steady beau meant
Till you came my way,
Now listen while I say;


Ain'tcha kinda glad,
And ain'tcha kinda gay,
when you hear me say,
"I loves ya!"?
Oh tell me baby, aintcha?


And don't you kinda miss
A little bit of bliss
When a hug or kiss
I gives ya?
Oh tell me baby, aintcha?


Pretty soon
There'll be a honeymoon,
And to the preacher we will go;
And in a year,
Maybe, honey dear,
We'll have a poop-poop-e-doo, poop-poop-e-doo!


Oh, ain'tcha kinda glad,
And ain'tcha kinda gay,
when you hear me say,
"I loves ya!"?
Oh tell me baby, aintcha?
Boop-boop-e-doo!


And didn't you used to say
That, on some future date,
That you'd buy lingerie
For your little baby, hmm?
Oh tell me, baby, didn'tya?


And care to take me, please,
Down to Tiffanys,
And buy some rings and things
For your little baby!
Oh tell me, honey, can'tcha?


Now if you don't,
Then I'll get mad and I won't
Be nice and sweet to you!
I'll get the 'flu,
Then I'll refuse to
Poop-poop-e-doo, poop-poop-e-doo!


When everything is set,
Ain't you gonna get
A parlour, kitchenette and twin beds?  No?
Oh tell me baby, ain'tcha?


And aintcha willingly,
Gonna neck with me?
'Cause it's plain to see
I love you!
Oh tell me baby, (scat), ain'tcha?
