Everyone says I love you
the cop on the corner and the burglar too
the preacher in the pulpit
and the man in the pew
says I love you
everyone no matter who
the folks over eighty
and the kid of two
the captain and sailor
and the rest of the crew
says I love you
there are only eight little letters
in the phrase you’ll find
but they need a lot more
than all the other words combined
everywhere the whole world through
the king in the palace
and the peasant too
the tiger in the jungle
and the monk in the zoo
says I love you
the preacher in the pulpit
and the man in the pew
says I love you
the captain and the sailor
and the rest of the crew
says I love you
everywhere the whole world through
the king in the palace
and the peasant too
the tiger in the jungle
and the monk in the zoo
says I love you
