A Bushel And A Peck

Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, 1950.

(Bing Crosby and Betty Hutton had a lot of fun with this one. Tabs here are based on that version heard so many years ago.)

5  6    7  6 5  5    6  6  7
I love you a bushel and a peck

6  5  5   6  6   7
A bushel and a peck

-8  7  -7  6  6   6   6
And a hug around the neck,

6  8  7  7    7   7
A hug around the neck

 7 -6 -6 -6  -6 -6  -8
And a barrel and a heap,

7 -7  6   6  6  6
A barrel and a heap

-8   7  -7   6   6  6   6
And I'm talking in my sleep--

8 -8   7   -6 -6  6
About you, about you.

 -5    5   6   7  6  5 5    6  6  7
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck,

 -8  8 -8   8 -8    8  -8 7
You betcha pretty neck I do.

I love you a bushel and a peck,
A bushel and a peck 
Though you make my heart a wreck
Make my heart a wreck
And you make my life a mess,
Make my life a mess
Yes a mess of happiness--
About you, about you.
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You betcha pretty neck I do.
