"I Wanna Pick You Up"

The first line of "I Wanna Pick You Up" ("I love to pick you up") is sung to an ascending melody (F F G A Bb C), musically giving a sense of that "up."

During the section that begins "Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat her on her butt, butt," there are staccato notes played with what I'm pretty sure is the French accordion sound on a Mellotron.  This articulation gives a musical impression of those "pat"s.
