The source describes Skip Hinnant trying to express his feelings to Judy Graubart as their characters age through successive verses of an Electric Company sketch. All nineteen lines are retained, including the final exchange. The broken syllables are intentional speech sounds, not missing lyric placeholders. The author's scene description is kept in context rather than turned into another verse.
[Skip] My hands begin to fumble.
My stomach starts to rumble.
But what really makes me grumble
Is my cookies start to crumble.
All I can do is mumble, "I... luh... yoo..."
My feet begin to stumble.
I'm just about to tumble.
My thoughts are all a-jumble,
And my bee forgets to bumble.
All I can do is mumble, "Luv yoommm ... "
You make me feel so, mmm, hummmble,
That I stumble, tumble, jumble, bumble,
Fumble, rumble, grumble, crumble,
[Trying to speak, but still incoherent] "Ah lub yoom .. "
[Judy] What?
[Skip] I said, "Ah luv ... yoommm ... "
[Judy] What?
[Skip] Pay attention. I said, "I luuuvvv ... yoooo."
[Judy] Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?"
