Lyrics

I’m so silly, daffy dilly
Don’t know what to say
Who got me this way?
My new boy friend, Hey! Hey! Say!
When he necks me, he just wrecks me
And when I’m with him
I tell you frankly that
I don’t know where I’m at

Chorus
No one’s home and the coast is clear
We’re alone and he cuddles near
If I let him, oh, my dear!
Do I know what I’m doing?
Soon his arms are around me tight
Then he hugs me with all his might
And if I turn down the light
Do I know what I’m doing?
I never know just when or how he commences
But when he gets that way I lose control of my senses
I suppose that we bill and coo
And what else do we do-do-do?
Don’t ask me, I’m asking you
Do I know what I’m doing?
