Are you ticklish
Or did I just hit a funny bone
Are you ticklish
Are we really alone?

Do you like me
Or am I just hoping for too much
Do you like me
Do you like to touch
Do you like me

I hear there’s another side to you
Well there’s another side to me too
Let’s get over to the other side
Real soon

I hear there’s an underneath to you
Well there’s an underneath to me too
Let’s get down underneath
Real soon

Are you lonesome
Well everybody’s lonesome
So it’s safe to assume you’re lonesome
But are you ticklish
Are you ticklish
