Thou Swell

Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand,
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me.
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee.

I'd feel so rich in a hut for two --
Two rooms, a kitchen, I'm sure would do.
Give me not a lot of, just a plot of land,
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand

Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand,
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee.

Well I'd feel so rich in a hut for two --
Two rooms and a kitchen I'm sure would do.
Give me not a lot of, just a plot of land,
And thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou pretty,
Thou swell, thou sweet, thou witty, thou grand.
