[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? Songtexte [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 Aus Songtexte Mania
