Words and Music by Percy Gaunt.

Put your arms around me, honey, even if you have no money;
Love me little, love me long;
For you know I'm in a hurry, when my heart is in a flurry-
Love me little, love me long.
I'd fly away on high, knock a hole up in the sky,
And hear the angels sing their brightest song.
Get a move and do not tarry, if you do we will not marry-
Love me little, love me long.

Chorus.
Stand from under! I'm goin' up yonder, yonder in the skies;
Put your arms around me, honey, even if you have no money-
Love me little, love me long.

Come along, my darling duckey, for I know you're very lucky-
Love me little, love me long;
Do not wait a single minute, or we never will be in it-
Love me little, love me long.
Put your wings on very tight, and we'll fly by day and night,
Till we reach the place that has the golden gong.
Over spire and over steeple, fly away from all the people-
Love me little, love me long.- Chorus.

Don't you hear the angels singing, and the golden bells a-ringing-
Love me little, love me long;
Honey dear, you've got to take me. and you'll never try to shake me-
Love me little, love me long.
Oh, do not be too late when we reach the golden gate.
For I want to take my harp and shout a song.
Come along, my beauty charmer, buckle on your brightest armor-
Love me little, love me long.- Chorus.
