BUDDY ROGERS:
From life's golf bag, when the goin's tough
I choose you to lift me from the rough
You're a fair maid I prize

NANCY CARROLL:
You stand out from other men I've seen
Like a dandelion on the green
Nice size, nice eyes, nice sighs

BUDDY ROGERS:
The breeze across the fairway
The blossoms over there
Are telling us in their way
We'd make a peach of a pair

The whole world seems to pause now
No sound upon the air
Just my heart calling yours now
We'd make a peach of a pair

There goes a lark, winging high
He'll notify the summer sky
To wear it's new blue suit for us
All nature seems to root for us

And who are we to cross 'em
It wouldn't be quite fair
Beneath the orange blossom
We'd make a peach of a pear

NANCY CARROLL:
What message has a lilac
As it is swaying there
It tells me you're what I lack
We'd make a peach of a pair

The whole world seems to pause now
No sound upon the air
Just my heart calling yours now
We'd make a peach of a pair

There goes a lark, winging high
He'll notify the summer sky
To wear it's new blue suit for us
All nature seems to root for us

The river talks to her banks
They hope we do and dare
Without the aid of burbane (sic)
We'd make a peach of a pair
