DORIS DAY: Love, are you nuts?
GIRLS: Some people can't tell when it hits them! 

DORIS:
All you gotta do is say hello to a man
And they've got you whispering in his ear

All you gotta do it seems is work for him
And they've got you going beserk for him

If there's a guy you merely have a bicker with
They've got you setting the wedding date

It seems they've just gotta have some dirt 
To bend your ear with

So before you start, I herewith state..... 

I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I
Not a bit, not a mite
Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk o' guy
But he's not my cup o' tea, not my cup o' tea, not he
Not an ounce, not a pinch
He's just an inch too sure of himself for me

GIRL: Well of course you've noticed his manly physique and that look in his eyes
GIRL: Say, I'm sure he can cut most any man down to size
GIRL: He must he as fierce as a tiger when he's mad
GIRL: And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad

DORIS:
But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love, not I
Not a straw, not a hair
I don't care if he's as strong as a lion
Or if he has the rest of ya sighin'
You may be sold, but this girl ain't buyin'
I'm not at all in love!

GIRLS: She's not at all in love, not at all in love, oh no
DORIS: Not a pin, not a crumb
GIRLS: Must be the summer heat that gives her that glow
'Cos she's not at all in love, not at all in love, she cries
DORIS: Not a snip, not a bite
GIRLS: Must be the light from the ceiling shining there in her eyes

GIRLS: He's young and handsome, and smart, and we can't get over it
DORIS: But this lady's heart he doesn't effect a bit
GIRLS: It's easy to see that her daffy grin is the grin she always wears
And she's breathless because she ran up a flight of stairs
Obviously!
Naturally!
Definitely!
Obviously!
Naturally!
Definitely!
Hah!

GIRLS: She's not at all in love, not at all in love, not she
DORIS: No, I'm not!
GIRLS: Not a dot
DORIS: Not a touch
GIRLS: No, not much
DORIS: When I fall in love, there will be no doubt about it
'Cos you will know from the way that I shout it
GIRLS: Your shouting
DORIS: I haven't fallen
GIRLS: She hasn't fallen
DORIS: I'm not at all in love!
GIRLS: She's not at all in love!
