Lyrics
1. Oh! Honey, Oh! Honey
I wonder why you act so funny
When we should be making Love
I’m willing, so willing
But nothing that you do seems thrilling
I look for your pettin’
And where am I gettin’?
Chorus
There’s the moon, ‘way up high
Here are you, here am I, Oh! do
Do do something
Ain’t been hugged, ain’t been kissed
Wanna see what I’ve missed, Oh! do
Do do something
Got a hug an’ a kiss
An’ a kiss an’ a hug or two
Gonna give some away
Wanna give some away to you
Other pairs, makin’ haste
Look at me, goin’ to waste, Oh! do
Do do something
2. I’m waiting, I’m waiting
And still you keep on hesitating
I wonder what’s wrong with you?
I’m willing, so willing
But honey this suspense is killing
And while you’re delaying
I’m hopefully saying
Chorus:
Summer night, stars galore
What are we waiting for, Oh! do
Do do something
It’s been told and explained
Nothin’ tried, nothin’ gained, Oh! do
Do do something
Got a hug an’ a kiss
An’ a kiss an’ a hug or two
Gonna give some away, wanna give some away to you
Sittin’ ’round, seems so dumb
Hurry dear, come, come, come, Oh! do
Do do something
