Do-do-doodoo
Do-do-doodoo
We had a quarrel
A teenage quarrel
Now I'm as blue
As I know how to be
I can't call you
On the phone
I can't even
See you at your home
So I'm sending
You this present
Just to prove
That I'm telling the truth
Dear I believe
You won't laugh when you receive
This rose and a Baby Ruth
Do-do-do-doodoo
Do-do-do-doodoo
Do-do-do-doodoo
I could have sent you
An orchid of some kind
But that's all I had in
My jeans at the time
But when we grow up
Someday I'll show up
Just to prove
I was telling the truth
I'll kiss you too
Then I'll hand to you
This rose and a Baby Ruth
