As recorded by DOROTHY COLLINS:

I wanna kiss, I wanna cling
But baby there's time and place for every thing
So please, please cool it baby
Show the gang you ain't no square
Cool it baby, we don't want those cats to stare
Co-cooly do it baby, make like a polar bear 

There is Sam with Sue, Bette with Gus
They've all got their snoopy-doopy eyes on us
So cool it baby, though you know I need you so
Cool it baby, take it easy, take it slow
Co-cooly do it baby, make like an Eskimo

(Instrumental Break) 

I love your eyes, I love your lips
They taste even better then potato chips
But cool it baby, quit your goofin'
Please, baby please
Cool it baby if you wanna hug and squeeze
Coo-cooly do it baby, make like a crazy breeze

(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)

I love the swing, I love the bop
But do you have to go and blow your pretty top
No no-no, cool it baby
Hold your fire, count to ten
Cool it baby, dig me chick, I'll tell you when
Co-cooly do it baby, just play it cool and then
Then we'll go-go-go when we're all alone again

As recorded by THE TRENIERS:

I wanna kiss, I wanna cling
But baby there's time and place for everything
So please, please cool it baby
Show the gang you ain't no square
Cool it baby, we don't want those cats to stare
Coo-cooly do it baby, make like a polar bear 

There's Sam with Sue, there's Bette with Gus
They've all got their snoopy-doopy eyes on us
So cool it baby, though you know I need you so
Cool it baby, take it easy, take it slow
Coo-cooly do it baby, make like an Eskimo

(Saxophone Solo) 
Go-go-go
Watch it, watch it, watch it

I love your eyes, I love your lips
They taste even better then potato chips
But please, cool it baby, quit your goofin'
Please, baby please
Cool it baby if you wanna hug and squeeze
Coo-cooly do it baby, make like a crazy breeze

Go, man, go
(Saxophone Solo)
Oh, play that thing!

I love to swing, I love to bop
But do you have to go and blow your pretty top
No-no-no, cool it baby
Hold your fire and count to ten
Cool it baby, dig me chick, I'll tell you when
Coo-cooly do it baby, just play it cool and then
Then we'll go-go-go when we're all alone again 

Cool it, baby!
