Come out, come out
Come out and get your lovin'
Now don't you keep me in suspense
Come on, come on
We'll do our turtle-dovin'
Sittin' on a backyard fence
Come on, come on
The little stars are peekin'
They're waitin' for you to commence
Aha, aha
I kinda thought I'd weaken
Sittin' on a backyard fence
It may be just another little backyard alley
Off the avenue
But I can see a willow tree, a moonlit valley
In the dreams I share with you
Meow, meow
The kitty cat is cooin'
He shows a lot of common sense
He knows, he knows
There's always something doin'
Sittin' on a backyard fence
(Dance/orchestral break)

Come on, come on
Come out and get your lovin'
Now don't you keep me in suspense
Come on, come on
We'll do our turtle-dovin'
