Like a dove takes to water,
like the flowers take to do.
Like a lantern takes to a lantern quarter,
I take to you.
Like a fish takes to swimming,
like the Irish take to stew.
Like a sultan takes to a flock of women,
I take to you.
Like moon and dune,
kiss and bliss,
a park,
a bench and a tree.
They all go together, honey, so do we.
Like a star takes to gleaming,
like the moonbeams to the blue.
Like a lover takes to a night of dreaming,
I take to you, baby.
I take to you.
Like horns and strings, drums and things,
a note, a clef, and a key.
They all go together, honey, so do we.
Like a vocalist takes to humming,
to la-la-la-la-la-la,
trumpets and trombones too.
Like the grouper takes to drumming,
I take to you.
