Lyrics:

(backup scat singing)
Why do they say that we're too young to go steady?
Don't they believe it, that I love you already?
Gee the moon is shining bright
Wish I could go out tonight
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Why do they always try to keep us apart?
Why do they laugh at what I feel in my heart?
Gee the stars are shining bright
I wish that I could hold you tight
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?

(instrumental)

Gee the stars are shining bright
I wish that I could hold you tight
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Why don't they let us fall in love?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?
Yeah yeah, why?
Oh oh oh oh, why?
Oh oh, why?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?
