    Do I Love Her - What are the Andantes singing?

    Could someone tell me just exactly are the Andantes singing starting at 2:28 on Stevie Wonder's "Do I Love Her?" I've listened so many times and I cannot make out they are saying. It's one of their marshmallow-mouth moments.

    Any clue would be greatly appreciated!

    That's unclear but loosely seems to be repetitions something along the lines of
    Birdies love to, birdies love to fly oo oo oo
    Babies love to, babies love to cry oo oo oo
    Birdies love to, birdies love to fly oo oo oo
    Babies love to, babies love to cry oo oo oo

    But then again . . .

    OK, per your post, specifically at the 2:28 mark [and through the fade out], the Andantes are singing:

    "Hey Mrs. Jones put your daughter on the phone [doo-doo-DOOT]


    Refers back to Stevie's request at 0:21:
    "Mrs. Jones won't your put my darling on the phone"

    This is one of those lines that I thought was oddly funny and beautiful at the same time. Funny in a way, because it seems like such a random, statement to use as a background lyric- it's a very conversational line instead of a song lyric, but it serves its point! But also, that line always makes me think of Herman's Hermits and their "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" which is basically an entire conversation set to music!
