Hey baby I ain't asking much of you
No, no, no, no, no, no baby
I ain't asking much of you
Just a big-a, big-a, big-a
Hunk o'love a-will do
Don't be a stingy little momma
You tried to starve me half to death
Now you could spare a kiss or two
And still have many left
No, no, no baby I ain't asking much of you
Just a big-a, big-a, big-a
Hunk o'love a-will do, (a-will do), a-will do, that's right

You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
But I ain't greedy baby
All I want is all you've got
No, no, no baby I ain't asking much of you
Just a big-a, big-a, big-a
Hunk o'love a-will do

I got a wish-bone in my pocket
I got a rabbit's foot around my wrist
Another half of the thing
My lucky charm could bring
If you give me just one sweet kiss
No, no, no baby I ain't asking much of you
Just a big-a, big-a, big-a hunk o'love a-will do, that's nice
Just a big-a, big-a, big-a hunk o'love a-will do, that's nice
Just a big-a, big-a, big-a hunk o'love a-will do, that's nice
