Everyone says I love you
|
the cop on the corner and the burglar too
|
the preacher in the pulpit
|
and the man in the pew
|
says I love you
|
everyone no matter who
|
the folks over eighty
|
and the kid of two
|
the captain and sailor
|
and the rest of the crew
|
says I love you
|
there are only eight little letters
|
in the phrase you¡¯ll find
|
but they need a lot more
|
than all the other words combined
|
everywhere the whole world through
|
the king in the palace
|
and the peasant too
|
the tiger in the jungle
|
and the monk in the zoo
|
says I love you
|
the preacher in the pulpit
|
and the man in the pew
|
says I love you
|
the captain and the sailor
|
and the rest of the crew
|
says I love you
|
everywhere the whole world through
|
the king in the palace
|
and the peasant too
|
the tiger in the jungle
|
and the monk in the zoo
|
says I love you
|
