Lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, yeah
Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, yeah
Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li

Oh, little girl of mine
Gee, you sure look fine
Yes, you appeal to me
I'll never set you free
Be my lovin' baby till the end of time
I can't seem to get you off my mind

Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, yeah
Lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li

The boys all roll their eyes
As we go strolling by
It's not so hard to see
That they all envy me
'Cause you're my lovin' baby, you belong to me
Thats the way it was meant to be, oh-oh
Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li
Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, yeah
Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li

Oh well, now I know I love you so
I'll never, never let you go
I need your love, oh so much
I thrill to your touch

(Instrumental Break)

Oh well, now I know I love you so
I'll never, never let you go
I need your love, oh so much
I thrill to your touch

So little girl stay cool
Thats all I ask of you
Be mine and mine alone
Don't leave your happy home
For I love you, baby, and I always will
You're my one and only thrill, oh-oh

Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, my baby
Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, oh, honey
Diddle-lil-lil-lil-lil-lil-li, oh, yeah
