(C)Love knocks once and never later 
(F)Slicker than an alligator 
(G)Hotter than a red hot 'tater 
Dog-og-gone it, baby I'm in (C)love 
(C)Loves's a bug that up and bit me 
(F)I don't know or care what hit me 
(G)I'll be yores if you permit me 
Dog-og-gone it, baby I'm in (C)love. 
 
CHORUS 
(F)Love is like atomic bomb 
(C)Works like the same effect 
The (D)heart it hits is blown to bits 
And what (G)else could you expect 
(C)Love can make a fellar dizzy 
(F)Throw him plumb into a tizzy 
(G)Even keep a loafer busy 
Dog-og-gone it, baby I'm in (C)love. 
 
Love can tame the wildest rover 
Hits you hard and bowls you over 
Makes you happy as a cow in clover 
Dog-og-gone it baby, I'm in love 
Mustard cuttin' stage or older 
Eskimo's are even colder 
Warms you up and makes you bolder 
Dog-og-gone it, baby I'm in love. 
 
INSTRUMENTAL 
 
SAME CHORDS AS CHORUS 
Gophers go for other gophers 
Honey temps the bee 
Mice or man, it's nature's plan 
And it's gettin' the best of me 
You're the cause you georgeous creature 
Let's make this a double feature 
And I'll go and fetch the preacher 
Dog-og-gone it, baby I'm in love.
