A LITER AND A GRAM
words by Tom Lehrer
music by Frank Loesser
("A Bushel and a Peck" from Guys and Dolls)
I love you a liter and a gram
A liter and a gram, and it's crazy that I am
A meter and a yard and a newton and a watt
A newton and a watt, and I wanna know a lot
About you
About you
(Chorus) A meter and a liter
(Chorus) Nothin' could be sweeter
'Cause I love you a liter and a gram
And it's crazy that I am for you.
I love you a poundal and a dyne
A poundal and a dyne, and I wanna make you mine
A footpound and an erg and a joule and a calorie
A joule and a calorie, and I wanna spend my salary
On you
On you
(Chorus) Centigrades and Fahrenheits
(Chorus) You lift me up to darin' heights
'Cause I love you a poundal and a dyne
And I wanna make you mine, I do.
