I take to you like the duck takes
to water,
Just like ink takes to a blotter,
Like a foot takes to a shoe!
I take to you, like birds take to
flyin',
Like babies take to cryin',
I take to you!
Wanted some love, and did I strike
it;
Now I'm up-side daisy,
Show me a gal that doesn't like
it,
And I'll show you a gal that's
crazy!
I take to you, like an egg takes
to bacon,
Like cocktails take to shakin',
Like you take to me, I take to
you!
Wanted some love, and did I strike
it;
Now I'm up-side daisy,
Show me the gal that doesn't like
it,
And I'll show you a gal that's
crazy!
I take to you, like an egg takes
to bacon,
Like cocktails take to shakin',
Like you take to me, I take to
you!
