Lyrics
- I remember the bliss
Of that wonderful kiss
I knew that a boy
Could never have more joy
From any little miss
I remember it quite
‘Twas a wonderful night
Oh, how I’d adore it
If you would encore it
Refrain:
Oh, do, do, do, what you’ve
Done, done, done before, baby
Do, do, do what I do, do, do adore, baby
Let’s try again, sigh again
Fly again to heaven
Baby, see it’s A, B, C
I love you and you love me
I know, know, know what a
Beau, beau, beau should do, baby
So don’t, don’t, don’t say it
Won’t, won’t, won’t come true, baby
My heart begins to hum
Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-dum
So do, do, do what you’ve
Done, done, done before
- Sweets we’ve tasted before
Cannot stand an encore
You know that a miss
Who always gives a kiss
Would soon become a bore
I can’t see that at all
True love never should pall
I was only teasing
What you did was pleasing
Refrain:
Oh, do, do, do, what you’ve
Done, done, done before, baby
Do, do, do what I do, do, do adore, baby
Let’s try again, sigh again
Fly again to heaven
Baby, see it’s A, B, C
I love you and you love me
You dear, dear, dear little
Dear, dear, dear come here snappy
And see, see, see little
Me, me, me make you happy
My heart beings to sigh
Di-de-di-de-di-di-di
So do, do, do what you’ve
Done, done, done before
