[1st verse:]
|
[Girl:]
|
I had a diff'rent teacher ev'ry year
|
They taught me ev'rything and yet I fear
|
My education's been neglected, dear
|
They never taught me to love
|
|
[Boy:]
|
I don't know that much about Geography
|
Grammar, Arithmetic or History
|
But I know ev'rything about love from A to Z
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
[Girl:] Teach me how to love, I'd like to know, sir
|
[Boy:] If you want to love, come over closer
|
[Girl:] Do you know the game, dear?
|
[Boy:] That's my middle name, dear
|
[Girl:] Call me turtle dove, I'd like to hear it
|
[Boy:] It will fit you like a glove
|
[Girl:] I'd like to know a teeny weeny bit about it
|
[Boy:] I could explain it to you, if your lips were pouted
|
[ENSEMBLE:] Look at 'em doin' it!
|
[Boy:] Hold steady!
|
[ENSEMBLE:] Look at 'em doin' it!
|
[Girl:] Oh, oh, it's very good, Eddy
|
Won't you teach me some more?
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
[Girl:] How many lessons do you think I'll need?
|
[Boy:] Not many lessons if you'll only heed
|
[Girl:] You know a lot about it, yes, indeed
|
[Boy:] I've taken lessons for years
|
[Girl:] I'd like to understand it through and through
|
[Boy:] Practice makes perfect, so it's up to you
|
[Girl:] I'm waiting
|
[Boy:] 'Twon't be long before you're a teacher, too
|
