I'm gonna leave your bed in the morning
I'm gonna sneak outta the house on you
I'm gonna buy you a Cadillac donut
'Cause no other donut's gonna do
Well, you have a heart like a cowboy but you don't build fences
And it's all that I want to make you mine
A maple whiskey bacon or an artisan cream cake one
Might make you fall for these old arms this time
Yodeling
I'm gonna sneak outta the house tomorrow
And mosey on down that road
I'll bring you a Cadillac donut, I'll bring it to your front door
I'm gonna knock til you answer,
Take a sweet sugary chance
You're gonna love this shoe fly meringue
With a hot side of coffee, honey, nobody can stop me
I'm gonna make you fall for me, I say
Yodeling

Well, back when my mamma was courting
There were Jones's with whom to keep up
Now I don't have a lawn and I don't have a car
I don't even have my own place to make love
But I've got nine dollars and a real big crush
And I know exactly what to do
So, take note, little Jones's, don't bring red wine and roses
Bring a Cadillac donut or two
Yodeling Crescendo
You're my lady, won't you take me riding in your car-car?
