I keep drinking malted milk, trying to drive my blues away.

Baby, you're just as welcome to my loving as the flowers is in May.
Malted milk, malted milk, keep rushing to my head.

And I have a funny, funny feeling and I'm talking all out my head.
Baby fix me one more drink and hug your daddy one more time
