How do you do

You like me and I like you

Come and take me by the hand

'Cause I wanna be your friend

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Say how do you do you do

How do you do you do

When I'm going on a summer holiday

And my plane leaves to a place so far away

I'm so happy 'cause its time to celebrate

Oh, I feel like I could dance, ooh whoa

Different people all around the globe don't know

What to say when there's a stranger I will show

That there is a way you can communicate

Everybody understands

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Come and take me by the hand

'Cause I wanna be your friend

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Say how do you do you do

How do you do you do

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Come and take me by the hand

'Cause I wanna be your friend

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Say how do you do you do

How do you do you do

It's so easy when you want to make a friend

When the sun is shining in a distant land

There's a certain feeling that surrounds your mind

And you feel like you can dance, ooh whoa

When you're going to the south of Africa

To America or to Australia

You'll see people of all colors and all kinds

Everybody understands

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Come and take me by the hand

'Cause I wanna be your friend

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Say how do you do you do

How do you do you do

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Come and take me by the hand

'Cause I wanna be your friend

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Say how do you do you do

How do you do you do

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Come and take me by the hand

'Cause I wanna be your friend

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Say how do you do you do

How do you do you do

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Come and take me by the hand

'Cause I wanna be your friend

How do you do

You like me and I like you

Say how do you do you do

How do you do you do

How do you do
