When my baby looks at me and whispers
"Oo-kook-a-boo, oo-kook-a-boo"
It thrills me through and through
When my baby looks at me and whispers
"Oo-kook-a-boo" that means I love you

She's-a putin' down a sound so round (Boo-ka-boo, boo-ka-boo)
But she's gettin' through
Though I know she's such a square, don't care (Boo-ka-boo, boo-ka-boo)
'Cause I love her, too

So, I hold my baby tight and tell her
"Oo-kook-a-boo, oo-kook-a-boo"
That's all I ever do
Yes, I hold my baby tight and tell her
"Oo-kook-a-boo", she knows I love her, too

I'm-a puttin' down a sound so round (Boo-ka-boo, boo-ka-boo)
That's the way it goes
When I talk the language of true love (Boo-ka-boo, boo-ka-boo)
Yes, my baby, knows, ooh

And my baby kisses me and hollers
"Oo-kook-a-boo, oo-kook-a-boo"
It thrills me through and through
And my baby kisses me and hollers
"Oo-kook-a-boo", I know she loves me true

She's-a putin' down a sound so round (Boo-ka-boo, boo-ka-boo)
But she's gettin' through
Though I know she's such a square, don't care (Boo-ka-boo, boo-ka-boo)
'Cause I love her, too

When I kiss my baby back a-shoutin'
"Oo-kook-a-boo, oo-kook-a-boo"
That's all I wanna do
Yeah, I kiss my baby back a-shoutin'
"Oo-kook-a-boo", she kiss me all night through, ooh
