Yes my dear I must admit that one time I might did (And if you grow wiser for me experience) Yes my dear I grew wiser in many ways and the thing I learned most Is don't give a dose to the one you love most No don't give a dose to the one you love most Give her some marmelade give her some toast You can give her the willings or give her the blues But the dose that you give her will get back to you I once had a lady as sweet as a song she was my darlin' and she was my dear But she had a dose and she passed it along Now she's gone but the dose is still here So don't give a dose to the one you love most Giver her some marmelade give her some toast You can give her a partridge up in a pear tree But the dose that you give her might get back to me If you've got an itchin' if you've got a drip don't Sit there wishin' for it to go way Cause it won't if there's a thing on the tip of your thing or your lip Run down to the clinic today and say I won't give a dose
