I know a couple of newlyweds,
They've been newlyweds for years!
Just a pair of spooners,
Sunny honeymooners!
This happy couple live next to me
And it's music to my ears,
When after every kiss,
I hear him sayin' this;

Okay Toots,
If you like me like I like you,
We know nobody new will do,
It's okay Toots!

Okay Toots,
If you say yes and I say yes,
Then if you say no then it's no go,
It's okay Toots!

You know that I'm in favour of
Whatever you do;
I've tasted the flavour of
One kiss, and then I knew;

It was okay Toots,
If you wash dishes, I dry dishes;
I dry dishes, I'm ambitious,
Okay Toots!

Okay my little Toots,
Say, if you say pictures I say movies,
holding hands is nice at movies,
Okay Toots!

Okay Toots,
If you say rumba I try rumba,
Though at rumba I'm a bumba,
Okay Toots!

I'll bring all my dough to you,
I'll keep every vow;
I'll never say no to you,
You've got a yes-man now!

When it's okay my little Toots,
If we have babies I mind babies,
If we have nursey I might nursey,
Okay Toots,
Okay Toots,
