When I was working a boat a boat off the Florida Keys

There was a rumour going round about a girl who was a tease

Well a challenge who's a challenge that's a challenge I adore

Next thing that I knew I was knocking on her door

Oh I love you Donna gee I love you Donna

Oh I really need you Donna gee I really love you Donna

The lights went on a voice called out

"If there's one thing I abhor it's men who are a coming while they're knocking on my door"

But though that first reception was as cool as a breeze

I knew things were bound to change off the Florida Keys

Oh I love you Donna, gee I love you Donna

Oh I really need you Donna gee I really love you Donna

A Southern girl's a lunatic and so's a Southern boy

And things get kind of loony when you find you're Donna's toy

Yes other men had failed to get in Donna's shack

But I'm a whole lot smarter I came in round the back

Oh I love you Donna, gee I love you Donna

Oh I really need you Donna gee I really love you Donna

When I was Donna's boy I was the man they envied most

The greatest muff diver off the Florida coast

Well I've touched electric eels and watched their flying sparks

But they're fused compared to Donna when she's shocking in the dark

Oh I love you Donna, gee I love you Donna

Oh I really need you Donna gee I really love you Donna

Oh I love you Donna.
