Does she love me, positively
Do I love her, absolutely
Positively, absolutely, and how

Is she nifty, positively
Under fifty, absolutely
Positively, absolutely, a 'wow'

And was she hard to get
Did I say no
And does she love to pet
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh baby

Does she love me, positively
Do I love her, absolutely
Positively, absolutely, and how
