As performed by Ethel Merman (Blossom) and Bill Johnson (Rocky):

BLOSSOM:
When there's a sun above
I always find
Romantic thoughts of love
Never enter my mind
But when the day is done
I find that instead
I just love ev'ryone
And as Elizabeth Barrett Browning once said.....

Hey, good-lookin'
Say, what's cookin'?
Do you feel like bookin'
Some fun tonight?
He, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
If you're not already tooken
Could you meet me soon
In the moon-
Light?
Why don't we two go roamin'
Through the gloamin'
While the stars are combin'
The skies above?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
Give in and we'll begin cookin'
That delish
Little dish
Called love

ROCKY:
Your voice, Miss Ovaltine
Has me impressed
You're the missing link between
Lily Pons and Mae West
But I must warn you, Ma'am
If later you're free
That I'm half wolf, my lamb
And as the famous Tallulah muttered to me.....

Hey, good-lookin'
Say, what's cookin'?
Do you feel like bookin'
Some fun tonight?
He, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
If you're not already tooken
Could you meet me soon
In the moon-
Light?
Why don't we two go roamin'
Through the gloamin'
While the stars are combin'
The skies above?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, good-lookin'
Give in and we'll begin cookin'
That delicious
Little divine
That so appetizing
That delightful
Itty-bitty-bite-full
Called love

As recorded by EVELYN DALL:

Hey, hey, hey, hey, good lookin'
Give in and we'll begin cookin'
That delish little dish called love

When there's the sun above
I always find
Romantic thoughts of love
Never enter my mind
But when the day is done
I find that instead
I just love everyone
And as Elizabeth Barratt-Browning once said

Hey good lookin', say what's cookin'
Do you feel like bookin' some fun tonight
Hey, hey, hey, hey, good lookin'
If you're not already tooken
Could you meet me soon in the moonlight

Why don't we two go roamin'
Through the gloamin'
While the stars are combin' the skies above
Hey, hey, hey, hey, good lookin'
Give in and we'll begin cookin'
That delish little dish called love

(Orchestral Interlude)

Why don't we two go roamin'
Through the gloamin'
While the stars are combin' the skies above
Hey, hey, hey, hey, good lookin'
Give in and we'll begin cookin'
That delish little dish called love
