You wanna know how much I care
When I say I love you, am I on the square
Did I really fall and what is it all about

You wanna know how much I yearn
Whenever I leave you, until I return
Well, if you're in doubt, here's how to figure it out

Take a number from one to ten
Double it and add a million
That's how many nights I'll be longing for you

Take a number from one to ten
Double it and add a billion
That's how many dreams I'll keep dreaming of you

(One-two-three-four-five-six-seven)
(Seven, baby, rhymes with heaven)
And my kisses rhyme with heaven too

Honey, won't you kindly
Take a number from one to ten
Double it and add a zillion
That's how many thrills I'll get
That's how many chills I'll get
On the day when you will say I do, I do, I do

As performed by LYDA ROBERTI  & Chorus (with
Jimmy Grier & His Orch.) in the film "College Rhythm":

Howd'yado! Howd'ydado! 
(Howd'yado! Howd'yado! Howd'yado!)
I'm hot (She's what?)
I'm hot (That's what)
I'm sizzling, oom-pah,oom-pah, oom-pah-pah
Are ya ready in the bandstand?
Are ya ready in the grandstand?
I'm gonna teach you a new little game
A game that you play with a heart
Ev'ry girl get a fellah, ev'ry fellah get a girl
Then you simply start by saying.....

Take a number from one to ten
Double it and add a million
That's how many nights I'll keep longing for you

Take a number from one to ten
Double it and add a billion
That's how many dreams I'll keep dreaming of you

One-two-three-four-five-six-seven
Seven, baby, rhymes with heaven
And your kisses rhyme with heaven too

Honey, won't you kindly
Take a number from one to ten
Double it and add a zillion
That's how many thrills I'll get
That's how many chills I'll get
On the day when you will say I do, I do, I do

(Take a number from one to ten)
(Double it and add a million)
(That's how many nights I'll keep longing for you)
Oh, baby, baby, baby

(Take a number from one to ten)
(Double it and add a billion)
(That's how many dreams I'll keep dreaming of you)
(Keep dreaming of no one but you)

(One-two-three-four-five-six-seven)
(Seven, baby, rhymes with heaven)
(And your kisses rhyme with heaven too)
Doo-peep-pap-nyad-an-yah

(Take a number from one to ten)
(Double it and add a zillion)
(That's how many thrills I'll get) Yeah!
(That's how many chills I'll get) Yeah!
(On the day that you will say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do) Yeah!

Honey, won't you kindly
Take a number from one to ten
Double it and add a zillion
That's how many thrills I'll get
That's how many chills I'll get
On the day when you will say 
'Here comes the Groom'
'Here comes the Bridey-idey, sweetie-peetie'
On the day when you will say I do
