As recorded by DORIS DAY:

Why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
Gee, but it's great to get together again
Why does it only happen now and then

We oughtta do this more often
Don't you agree that I'm right
We make each other laugh
We make each other sing
And you can never ever
Overdo a good thing
So why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight

Why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
Oh gee, but it's great to get together again
Why does it only happen now and then

We oughtta do it more often
Don't you agree that I'm right
We make each other laugh
We make each other sing
And you can never ever
Over-do a good thing
Why don't we do it more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
