[BC]  Like peanut butter likes jelly.

Like feet like wigglin’ their toes.

Like a skunk likes bein’ smelly.

Like grandpas like to take a doze.

I like you.  I like you.

Like a farmer likes somethin’ growin’.

Like sailors like to go to sea.

Like Louis likes blowin’.

Like everyone like’s bein’ free.

I like you.  And I like you, too.

[RM]  Like being tired likes sleeping.

Like going someplace likes a train.

Like secrets like keeping.

Like hot dry summers like the rain.

I like you.  I like you.

Like puppy dogs like petting.

Like children like to play pretend.

Like wanting likes getting.

Like feeling lonely likes a friend.

I like you.  I like you.

Like fairy gold likes gleaming.

Like stars like shining in the sky.

Like dreamers like dreaming.

Like bedtime likes a lullaby.

I like you.  I like you.
