'Round as a biscuit
busy as a bee
prettiest thing you ever did see
that's the riddle old John Biddle
told Miss Dinah Lee.
Dinah said that's easy
tell me one I haven't heard,
John said here's one I wrote myself
just listen it's a bird.

Father and Mother like it,
Sister and brother like it
Uncle Joe and old Aunt Jane
I know you like it,
and you know I like it
It's a grand old game.
Young Nephew Ephraham
and my cousin Susianne
even to the cooin' dove
just crazy 'bout
that wonderful thing,
that beautiful thing
that sweet little thing
that precious little thing called love.

Father and Mother like it,
Sister and brother like it
Uncle Joe and old Aunt Jane
I know you like it,
and you know I like it
It's a grand old game.
Young Nephew Ephraham
and my cousin Susianne
even to the cooin' dove
just crazy 'bout
that wonderful thing,
that beautiful thing
that sweet little thing
that precious little thing called love.

This little riddle,
Johnnie Biddle wrote
all around town it soon did float,
this same riddle told by Biddle
got Miss Dinah's goat.
Dinah said to Johnnie
I will learn it right away
So when them parties whom I love
come 'round to him I'll say.

Father and Mother like it,
Sister and brother like it
Uncle Joe and old Aunt Jane
I know you like it,
and you know I like it
It's a grand old game.
Young Nephew Ephraham
and my cousin Susianne
even to the cooin' dove
just crazy 'bout
that wonderful thing,
that beautiful thing
that sweet little thing
that precious little thing called love.

Father and Mother like it,
Sister and brother like it
Uncle Joe and old Aunt Jane
I know you like it,
and you know I like it
It's a grand old game.
Young Nephew Ephraham
and my cousin Susianne
even to the cooin' dove
just crazy 'bout
that wonderful thing,
that beautiful thing
that sweet little thing
that precious little thing called love.
