Verse 1:

I know a bundle of humanity,
She's about so high;
I'm nearly driven to insanity
When she passes by.
She's a snooty little cutie,
She's been so hard to kiss;
I'll try to overcome her vanity,
And then I'll tell her this:

Chorus:

I'm young and healthy, and you've got charms,
It would really be a sin not to have you in my arms.
I'm young and healthy, and so are you,
When the moon is in the sky, tell me, what am I to do?
If I could hate yuh,
I'd keep away;
But that ain't my nature,
I'm full of vitamin "A," say!
I'm young and healthy, so let's be bold;
In a year or two or three, maybe we will be too old. 

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

This little bundle of rascality
Has me up a tree;
She has the sort of personality
That inspires me.
I'm so naughty, she's so haughty,
She's been so hard to kiss;
I'll overlook each vain formality
And then I'll tell her this;

[Chorus]
