[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
