<blockquote>
''I love Lucy and she loves me.''<br />
''We're as happy as two can be.''<br />
''Sometimes we quarrel but then''<br />
''How we love making up again.''<br />
<br />
''Lucy kisses like no one can.''<br />
''She's my missus and I'm her man,''<br />
''And life is heaven you see,''<br />
'' 'Cause I love Lucy, Yes I love Lucy, and Lucy loves me!''
