A Bushel and a Peck

[Woodstock]

Does anyone know any more words to this song?

I love you, a bushell and a peck

A bushell and a peck and  hug around the neck.

Thanks in advance.

Doris Day

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
A barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep
About you, about you
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your purdy neck I do

A doodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck though you make my heart a wreck
Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess
Make my life a mess, yes a mess of happiness
About you, about you
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your purdy neck I do

A doodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and it beats me all to heck
It beats me all to heck, how I'll ever tend the farm
Ever tend the farm when I wanna keep my arm
About you, about you
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your purdy neck I do

A doodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-ooh-doo-doo

It's in Guys and Dolls (the musical) by Frank Loesser.

Thanks so much Silly Moo, I've only known those 2 lines for about 40 years and I've driven the family mad singing them over and over.  I can drive them mad singing the rest now!!

Thanks also for your response miss_chase, I didn't know it was in that show.  Did it originate from there - I thought it was much older than that?

Frank Loesser is credited with writing the words & music to A Bushel and a Peck in 1950, the same year that Guys & Dolls opened (the film was made in 1955).

Thanks stoo-pid - although I don't like calling you that when you've been so informative.  Cheers.

about you
