Why did I give you up, (give you up) Buttercup, baby
I was really wrong (really wrong) and out of my mind
And then worst of all (worst of all) I never go see you
When I said I would (said I would) I promise I will
I want you (I want you) to live in our apartment
Laverne will not mind you at all
I gave you up (gave you up) Buttercup, promise I'll call
"You were always my friend" cried to Laverne yet again
It was fate, you'd come to me and then (bah-dah-dah)
I stomped on the floor, can't hold my breath anymore
Wait and see, you, me, Laverne again
(Nay, nay, nay) Horsy, horsy, you're the one
(Nay, nay, nay) We'll go riding and have some fun
(Nay, nay, nay) You'll come home
You'll have your bag of oats waiting for you
Ooo - oo - ooo, Ooo - oo- ooo
Why did I give you up, (give you up) Buttercup, baby
I was really wrong (really wrong) and out of my mind
And then worst of all (worst of all) I never go see you
When I said I would (said I would) I promise I will
I want you (I want you) to live in our apartment
Laverne will not mind you at all
I gave you up (gave you up) Buttercup, promise I'll call
You were my friend and I would never give you away
It seems like yesterday (bah - dah - dah)
We're off on our own, daddy gave you a home, I was young
I really need you so
(Nay, nay, nay) Horsy, horsy, you're the one
(Nay, nay, nay) We'll go riding and have some fun
(Nay, nay, nay) You'll come home
You'll have your bag of oats waiting for you
Ooo - oo - ooo, Ooo - oo- ooo
Why did I give you up, (give you up) Buttercup, baby
I was really wrong (really wrong) and out of my mind
And then worst of all (worst of all) I never go see you
When I said I would (said I would) I promise I will
I want you (I want you) to live in our apartment
Laverne will not mind you at all
I gave you up (gave you up) Buttercup, promise I'll call
I - I - I want you - oo - oo to live in our apartment
Laverne will not mind you at all
I gave you up (gave you up) Buttercup, promise I'll call
