Some girls keep their sweeties guessing,
But I am different, I'm confessing
That I'm crazy over you!
Oh, I admit that you're my big
moment;
I never knew what a steady beau
meant,
Till you came my way;
Now, listen while I say:
Ain'tcha kinda glad? And ain'tcha
kinda gay?
When you hear me say I loves ya,
Oh, tell me, baby, ain'tcha?
And don't you kinda miss, a little
bit of bliss,
When a hug or kiss I gives ya!
Oh, tell me, baby, don'tcha?
Pretty soon, there'll be a honeymoon,
And to the preacher we will go,
And in a year, maybe, honey dear,
We'll have a boop-boop-a-doop,
boop-boop-a-doop!
Oh! Ain'tcha kinda glad? And ain'tcha
kinda gay?
When you hear me say I loves ya,
Oh, tell me, baby, ain'tcha?
Boop-boop-a-doop!
And didn't you used to say, that
on some future day,
That you'd buy lingerie for your
little baby, huh?
Oh, tell me, baby, didn'tcha?
Ooh-ooh!
And can't you take me, please, down
to Tiffany's,
And buy some rings and things for
your little baby, hmmm?
Oh, tell me, honey, can'tcha?
Now, if you don't then I'll get
mad and I won't be nice and sweet to you,
You know what I'll do? I'll get
the blues,
Then I'll refuse to boop-boop-a-doop,
boop-boop-a-doop!
Oh, when everything is set, ain'tcha
gonna get,
A parlor, kitchenette and twin
beds, no?
Oh, tell me, baby, ain'tcha?
And ain'tcha willingly gonna neck
with me,
'Cause it's plain to see that I
loves ya!
Oh, tell me, baby, bop-op-e-dop-a-da,
ain'tcha?
