(Jack Lawrence)
(vocals: Marion Hutton)
I've gotta be good or momma will scold me
Yes, yes, yes
I asked her and this is what she told me:
Yes, yes, yes
Mother, may I go out dancing?
Yes, my darling daughter!
Mother, may I try romancing?
Yes, my darling daughter!
What if there's a moon,
Momma darling, and it's shining on the water?
Mother, must I keep on dancing?
Yes, my darling daughter!
What if he'll propose,
Momma darling, when the night is growing shorter?
Mother, what should be my answer?
"Yes", my darling daughter!

Mother, may I try romancing?
Yes, my darling daughter!

Yes, my darling daughter!
