[Bill:] When you kiss your dad,
I've nothing to say.
I'm big that way, but when you kiss others.
well, fun is fun.
[Mary:] Don't be sil'!
You've no right picking on me!
What can it be?
Wish you'd tell me
just what it is I've done.
[Bill:] You say you love me,
no one above me,
how am I to know it's really so?
All that I have is your say so.
How do I know it'll say so?

Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?
Ev'ry heart beat shows I love somebody;
does that certain "She"
oh gee, love me?
Save me!
This little feller needs a friend.
Crave me!
Or in the river I will end!
Oh, Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?

Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?
Ev'ry heart beat shows I love somebody;
does that certain "He"
oh gee, love me?
Hear me!
I knew my lecture couldn't last,
Dear me!
I'll gladly overlook the past.
Oh, Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?

[Mary:] In Romanza,
ev'ry maid you would meet,
you'd always greet.
Why, you hardly knew that I was alive.
[Bill:] All I said to them was:
"How do you do?"
[Mary:] I've heard that you
flirted till the minute that I'd arrive.
Oh, I've been checking
up on your necking.
You're the baby who isn't so true.
And it's started me wond'ring
if in loving you I'm blundering.

Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?
Ev'ry heart beat shows I love somebody;
does that certain "She"
oh gee, love me?
Save me!
This little feller needs a friend.
Crave me!
Or in the river I will end!
Oh, Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?

Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?
Ev'ry heart beat shows I love somebody;
does that certain "He"
oh gee, love me?
Hear me!
I knew my lecture couldn't last,
Dear me!
I'll gladly overlook the past.
Oh, Ev'rybody knows I love somebody;
does that somebody, oh gee, love me?
