As recorded by MARION HARRIS, 3rd May 1932:

Who am I to be so highbrow
When we talk love A-B-C
Who am I to worry my brow
Love's as plain as plain can be

Is I in love? I is
Be I in love? I be
Oh gee, oh gosh, gee-whiz
Is I in love? I is

Am you the one you am
Yes Miss, yes sir, yes ma'am
Oh gee, oh gosh, gee-whiz
Is I in love? I is

Those hair, them eyes
How come they was
And do I fell
I'll say I does

The English I have spoke
Is posolute a joke
Oh gee, oh gosh, gee-whiz
Is I in love? I is

Do me love you? Me do
Just say you love I too
I guess I know my biz
Is I in love? I is

I'd love to song a sing
I only thunk one thing
I hope t'won't be a fizz
Is I in love? I is

Oh gee, oh joy
What are this bliss
Could it have came 
From one sweet kiss

Oooh, now everybody knows
The way these chorus goes
Oh gee, oh gosh, gee-whiz
Is I in love? I is


ALTERNATE OPENING VERSE:

Little Johnny got all mixed-up
Making love to Mary brown
But he got a theme song fixed-up
So he wrote these words right down
