Lyrics
More than a catbird hates a cat,
Or a criminal hates a clue,
Or the Axis hates the United States,
That’s how much I love you.
As a sailor’s sweetheart hates the sea,
Or a juggler hates a shove;
As a wife detests unexpected guests,
That’s how much you I love.
I love you more than a wasp casting
And more than a hangnail hurts;
I love you more than commercials are a bore
And more than a grapefruit squirts.
I swear to you by the stars above and below,
If such there be;
As a bride would resent a blessed event,
That’s how you are loved by me.

More than a waiter hates to wait,
Or a lioness hates the zoo,
Or a batter dislikes those called third strikes,
That’s how much I love you.
As much as a lifeguard hates to swim,
Or a writer hates to read:
Or the Hays office frowns on low-cut gowns,
That’s how much you I need.
I love you more than a hive can itch
And more than a chill blain chills:
I yearn for you in an ivy clad igloo,
As a liver yearns for pills.
I swear to you by the earth below and above,
If such there be;
As a dachshund abhors revolving doors,
That’s how you are loved by me.
