(DORIS)
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
I love somebody but I won't say who
Handsome, say, he's six feet tall
And his picture's on my wall
Love to be his baby doll
If he kissed me I [Buddy joins in] wouldn't mind at all
(BUDDY)
I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody but I won't say who
Don't know why she acts so shy,
She oughta know I wouldn't dream
of even hurtin' a fly
Hope she doesn't pass me by
'cause if she did I'd die, I know I'd die
(BOTH)
I love somebody, yes, I do
Love somebody, yes, I do
(BUDDY)
Love somebody, yes, I do
(BOTH)
Love somebody but I won't say who
(Instrumental Break)
(DORIS)
He's big and strong
(BUDDY)
Wouldja like to feel my muscle?
(DORIS)
Bold and gay
(BUDDY)
I never once lost a tussle
(DORIS)
At the moment he's not very far away
(BUDDY)
Why don'tcha say who, say already?
(DORIS)
I'd want to marry him today
(BUDDY)
But you don't say who
(DORIS)
That I cannot do
(BUDDY)
Happen to be me?
(DORIS)
Possibility
(BUDDY)
Won'tcha tell me who ya love?

(At this point Doris sang `say' and Buddy sang `tell'.
(BUDDY)
C'mon confess
(DORIS)
Why don'tcha try and guess?
(BOTH)
Do tell. Let's tell.
(DORIS)
You promise not to breathe a word?
(BUDDY)
Doris, don't be absurd
(DORIS)

Oui, oui!! We two
