Pucker up, buttercup
(Hey!)
I wanna kiss you one time
(Hey!)
Pucker up, buttercup
(Uh-huh)
I wanna kiss you one time, uh-huh
I wanna hug you
Buttercup, I wanna show you how
Hey!

You say you never
Been kissed befo'
You always leave 'em
Standin' at the do'
And when they try to kiss you
You just say, 'Good-bye'
You always tell 'em, 'No'
And never tell 'em why

Pucker up, buttercup
I wanna kiss you one time (girl)
Pucker up, buttercup, uh-huh
I wanna kiss you one time
(Hey!)
I wanna hug you
Buttercup, I wanna show you how
Hey!

(sax & instrumental)

Pucker up, buttercup, uh-huh
I wanna kiss you one time
(Hey!)
Pucker up, buttercup
I wanna kiss you one time
I wanna hug you
Buttercup, I wanna show you how
Hey!

It won't do you no good
To tell me, 'No'
Because I've met your kind befo'
I'll bet you, befo' I'm through
I'll be hearin' these same words from you

Pucker up, buttercup, uh-huh
I wanna kiss you one time
Pucker up, buttercup, uh-huh
I wanna kiss you one time
(Hey!)
I wanna hug you
Buttercup, I wanna show you how
Hey!

(sax & instrumental to end)
