Sheet music version:

Verse:

Let's imagine we're in Holland and we're underneath the moon,
Let's walk a little, talk a little, kiss a little, 
Cling a little, sigh a little, sing a little tune.

Chorus:

Zing, zing, zing a little zong with me,
I know we're not bezide the Zuider Zee,
But when you're zittin' by the zide of me,
I want to zing a little zong.
Zing zome zentimental melody,
About a chapel or an apple tree,
About a couple livin' happily,
And I'll be glad to zing along.
It ain't the zeason that has me kinda zilly,
You really are a dolly, a dolly and a dilly.
You've got a reason to cuddle sorta close to me
And we could do a very clever bit of close harmony.
Zing, zing, zing it's getting late, my pet,
We've got a most important date to set,
I'm sure that we could make a great duet,
And we could zing a little love zong all night long.

Movie version:

Chorus 1:

Zing, zing, zing a little zong with me,
I know we're not bezide the Zuider Zee,
But when you're zittin' by the zide of me,
I want to zing a little zong.
A-zing zome zentimental melody,
About a chapel or an apple tree,
About a couple livin' happily,
And I'll be glad to zing along.
It ain't the zeason that has me kinda zilly,
You really are a dolly, a dolly and a dilly.
You got a reason to cuddle sorta close to me
And we could do a very clever bit of close h-harmony.
Zing, zing, zing it's gettin' late, my pet,
We got a most important date to set,
I'm sure that we could make a great duet,
And we could zing a little love zong all night long.

Chorus 2:

Zing, zing, zing a little zong with me, (we'll zing a little zong)
I know we're not bezide the Zuider Zee, (and I'll be glad to zing along)
But when you're zittin' by the zide of me, (you wanna what?)
I want to zing a little zong. (she wants to zing a little zong)
Zing zome zentimental melody, (that's all about)
About a chapel or an apple tree, (and I'll be glad to zing along)
About a couple livin' happily, (how's that with you?)
(Well I'll be glad to zing it, too) (well, okay)
It ain't the zeason that has me kinda zilly,
You really are (a dolly?), a dolly and a dilly. (gee!)
You got a reason to cuddle sorta close to me
And we could do a very clever bit of close h-harmony.
Zing, zing, zing it's gettin' late, my pet,
We got a most important date to set, (forgot to set the date)
I'm sure that we could make a great duet, (I'll be the tenor, alto and baritone)
And we could zing a little love zong all night long.

Interlude:

Although we might disturb the peace,
Let's break it up and break the lease;
Let's give the thing another fling,
You mean you really want to:

Chorus 3:

Zing, zing, zing a little zong with me (zing a little zong)
I know we're not beside the Zuider Zee,
And we'll be glad to zing along..
I wanna zing (we wanna zing a little zong)
Have a vocal jamboree,
But we mustn't change the key.
Zing zome zentimental melody (a delight, oh)
About a chapel or an apple tree,
Come on with me, we'll zing along 
(I got to zing a little zong)
(Well I'll be glad to zing along)
(Well come in)
It's ain't the zeason (um hmm) that has me kinda zilly (yah?)
You really are a dolly (yes), a dolly and a dilly (thanks)
I got a reason to keep you kinda close to me
'Cause we could do a very clever bit of close h-harmony.
Zing, zing, zing it's gettin' late my pet (forgot to set the date)
We have a most important date to set
I know that we could make a great duet (and we could zing)
And we could zing a little love zong all night long.

Chorus 4:

Got to have you zing, zing, zing a little zong with me (although we're not)
I know we're not beside the Zuider Zee (but we'll be glad to zing along)
But when you're zittin' by the zide of me,
I wanna zing a little zong (isn't that a little strong?)
How about a little zweet zomethin' on the quiet zide?
About a couple lookin' starry-eyed?
They're never zad because they're zatisfied,
As long as they can zing a zong.
Could be da muzic that's got me off my noodle,
Ah, could be da Weiner Schnitzel there,
Could be da apple strudel.
Ven ve're together I vant to zing a zerenade,
And we could Dutch it up a bit and make it hit and do it mit a little..
Zing, zing, zing we'll kill 'em at the Met, (it's gettin' late my pet)
You know we could make a great duet,
How can we miss?
Ah ah ah ah ah ah…
With stuff like this.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah…
Are you well?
I'll make it,
Oh well, we'll zettle for a love zong all night long.
Wanna zing a little zong.
