Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy and I feel like a-lovin' you
Love, you're such a sweet thing, good enough to eat thing
And it's just a-what I'm gonna do

Ooh love to hold ya, ooh love to kiss ya
Ooh love I love it so
Ooh love you're sweeter, sweeter than sugar
Ooh love, I won't let you go

Uh, uh, yeah, oh

Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy and as silly as it may seem
The lovin' that you're giving is what keeps me livin'
And your love is like peaches and cream

Kinda like sugar, kinda like spices
Kinda like, like what you do
Kinda sounds funny but I love honey
And honey, I love you

Ba, da, ba, da, da, da, da
Ba, da, da, da, da, da

Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy that your love can satisfy
Love, you're such a sweet thing, good enough to eat thing
And sweet thing, that ain't no lie

Ooh love, I love it so

Ooh love, I won't let you go

Ba, da, ba, da, da, da, da
Ba, da, da, da, da, da

Sweet thing yummy yummy

I think it's wonderful that you have such a Big Family. I envy you.
My Mother's Mother was from England and was one of 13. Only 2 came Here.
She was, as are you, one of 5.

I was,to my dismay, an only child 😟.
It must be very rewarding to have 21 Grandchildren and 14 Great Grandchildren.

Wondering if Everyone lives in Minnesota ?
It's been Very nice Chatting with you Lisa 🙂.
Thank you,
