Say, I know a bottle of humanity,
She is about so high,
And I'm nearly driven to insanity
When she passes by!
She's a snooty little cutey,
She's been so hard to kiss;
I'll try to overcome her vanity,
And then I'll tell her this;

I'm young and healthy
And you've got charms,
It would really be a sin
Not to have you in my arms!

I'm young and healthy
And so are you;
When the moon is in the sky,
Tell me, what am I to do?

Say, if I could hate you,
I'd keep away,
But that ain't my nature,
I'm full of vitamin A!

Say, I'm young and healthy,
So let's be bold!
In a year or two or three,
Maybe we will be too old!

I'm young and healthy
And you've got charms,
It would really be a sin
Not to have you in my arms!

I'm young and healthy
And so are you;
When the moon is in the sky,
Tell me, what am I to do?

If I could hate you,
I'd keep away,
But that ain't my nature,
I'm full of vitamin A!

Say, I'm young and healthy,
So let's be bold!
In a year or two or three,
Maybe we will be too old!

I'm young and healthy
And you've got charms,
It would really be a sin
Not to have you in my arms!

I'm young and healthy
And so are you;
When the moon is in the sky,
Tell me, what am I to do?

If I could hate you, honey,
I'd keep away,
But that ain't my nature,
I'm full of vitamin A!

Whoa, I'm young and healthy,
So let's be bold!
In a year or two or three,
Maybe we will be too old!

If I could hate you,
I'd keep away,
But that ain't my nature,
I'm full of vitamin A!

Say, I'm young and healthy,
So let's be bold!
In a year or two or three,
Maybe we will be too old!
