I Take to You

Like a duck to takes to water
Like the flowers take to dew
Like Aladdin take to a laden quarter
I take to you

Like the fish to swimming
Like the Irish take to stew
Like a sultan takes to a flock of women
I take to you

Like moon and June
And kiss and bliss
A park, a bench, and a tree
They all go together
And honey, so do we

Like a star takes to gleaming
Like a moonbeam to the blue
Like a lover takes to a night of dreaming
I take to you
Baby! I take to you

Like parades take to trumpets up and down Fifth Avenue
Like a duchess takes to tea and crumpets
I take to you

Like a golfer takes to a brassie
Like a bird's eye to a view
Like a Scottsman takes to a bunny wee lassie
I take to you

Like rain and shine and tic-tac-toe
Ireland and Mother Machree
They all go together
And honey, so do we

Like the Dutch take to tulips
And the Swiss yodel-ay-ee yodel-oo
Like a Southerner takes to a few mint julips
I take to you
Darling, I take to you

Like the spring takes to Mayday
Like a G-Man to a clue
Like your mother takes to your dad on payday
I take to you

Like a redhead takes to henna
And a monkey to a zoo
Like a Strauss waltz takes to Old Vienna
I take to you

Like sweet and low
And yes and no
Like golly gosh and ah gee
They all go together
And honey, so do we

Like a shop takes to tradin'
Like the French to parlez-vous
Like a sailor takes to a hula maiden
I take to you

Like sweet and hot
A house and lot
A lock and a door and a key
They all go together
And honey, so do we

Like a rancher takes to yippin'
Like a cowboy to wahoo
Like a steamboat takes to the Mississippi
I take to you
Baby, I take to you
Honey, I take to you
Darling, I take to you
I take to you
