Wow this is a great song I am surprised there aren't more comments. This song always put me in a good mood and makes me crack up.

Does anyone know the meaning of the line "Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see, that's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea". Does he mean he likes it because she bends over and he can see her cleavage?

xWaRpeDx,

that is exactly why i looked up this song! i see no-one has offered a meaning for that particular line in some time. oh well, i'll keep looking here.

Someone suggested that he means that she poured liquor in his tea...he's a drunk so it is a possible theory.

I believe that dunking her doughnut in his tea is just one of the quirky, unique things she does that endears her to him. Like tearing up her 1/2 of the winnings just for fun, or saying she likes how Spike Jones talks, but not how he sings - it's funny because he was famous for his singing and his band. He probably didn't do much talking.
The whole song is kind of quirky and endearing that way! :-)
