Your rating:
There's a married couple happily Living in apartment forty-three I live right next door In apartment forty-four Gee! but they're a mushy he and she Mushing seems to be their specialty It would start you walking If you heard them talking [chorus:] All day long he calls her Snooky ookums Snooky ookums All they do is talk like babies She's his jelly elly roll He's her sugey ugar bowl Here's the way they bill and coo Poogy woo, poogy woo, poogy woo All night long he calls her Snooky ookums Snooky ookums All night long the neighbors shout "Cut it out! cut it out! cut it out!" They cry "For goodness sake! Don't keep us all awake With your snooky, ookey, ookey baby talk!" [2nd verse] If you ever heard their mushy song If you saw how well they get along You would bet your life That they weren't man and wife He's a little fellow, four foot tall Weighing just a hundred clothes and all She's a great big lady Weighs a hundred eighty
