Oh, the gentle art of conversation
Is deader than the Dead Sea Scrolls;
We've become the mutest kind of nation,
We're uncommunicating souls!
No-one talks, no one talks,
It's something we never do.
No-one talks, no one talks,
[mm]
No-one talks but you!

[both]
Let's make love!

[fv]
Here we sit and we chatter,
What are we thinking of?
Let's not make with the patter,
Baby, let's make love!

[mm]
If you roar like a lion,
[fv]
(growl!)
[mm]
I could coo like a dove;
If you are sold, begin buyin',
Baby, let's make love!

[fv]
Gosh it's hot!

[mm]
No, don't turn tv on,
Instead, just turn me on!
I light up like neon!
Just a tiny section
Of your affection
In my direction will do, ooh!

[fv]
You'll just love my embraces,
'Cause they'll fit like a glove!
We'll be off to the races,
Maybe,
[mm]
kiss me baby,
[both]
Let's make love!

[mm]
Don't just lay there!
Honey, do something!

[mm]
Don't just contemplate me,
Prove that you don't hate me,
Come on, osculate me!
[fv]
Maybe moonlight trips with me,
Come to grips with me,
Lips to lips with me, do!
[mm]
Ooh-ooh-ooh!

[fv]
You'll just love my embraces,
[mm]
'Cause they'll fit like a glove!
[fv]
We could get down to cases,
Maybe,
[mm]
Kiss me baby
Let's make love!

[fv]
My oh my but it's warm here!
[mm] 
Let's make love!
[fv]
I sure wore a tight collar!
[mm]
Let's make love!
[fv]
Do you know a good doctor?
[both]
Let's - make love!
