Lyrics Ma Says, Pa Says - Johnnie Ray
Go
tell
your
mother
you're
steppin'
out
with
me,
Say
that
we'll
be
dancing
and
you
won't
be
home
till
three!
Go
tell
your
father
he
needn't
pace
the
floor,
Promise
at
the
stroke
of
three
you'll
tiptoe
through
the
door!
I
told
my
mother
And
I
told
my
father
And
they
Yes?
Say;
What
did
they
say?
Ma
says,
pa
says,
We
must
keep
on
dancin'!
Ma
says,
pa
says,
We
must
keep
on
dancin'!
For
if
we
keep
on
dancin',
We
won't
start
romancin'!
But
if
we
start
romancin',
We
won't
keep
on
dancin'!
Well
now,
go
tell
your
mother
I'm
taking
you
out
to
dine,
Tell
her
this
here
restaurant,
the
cookin'
is
divine!
Then
go
tell
your
father
you've
got
an
appetite,
Say
that
you're
so
hungry,
you
could
eat
all
through
the
night!
I
told
my
mother
And
I
told
my
father
And
they
Yes?
Say;
What
did
they
say?
Ma
says,
pa
says,
We
must
keep
on
eating!
Ma
says,
pa
says,
We
must
keep
on
eating!
For
if
we
keep
on
eating,
Our
lips
won't
be
meeting!
But
if
our
lips
are
meeting,
We
won't
keep
on
eating!
Well
now,
go
tell
your
mother
tonight
you've
got
a
date,
Say
that
you
and
I
will
be
attending
a
little
debate!
Go
tell
your
father
I'm
gonna
make
a
speech,
Say
that
the
lecture
will
be
held
upon
a
sandy
beach!
I
told
my
mother
And
I
told
my
father
And
they
Yes?
Say;
What
did
they
say?
Ma
says,
pa
says,
We
must
keep
on
talkin'!
Ma
says,
pa
says,
We
must
keep
on
talkin'!
For
if
we
keep
on
talkin',
We
won't
go
out
walkin'!
But
if
we
go
out
walkin',
We
won't
keep
on
talkin'!
We'll
date
and
debate!
We'll
meet
and
eat!
We'll
walk
and
talk
beneath
the
moon!
'Cause
ma
says,
ma
says,
We
can
marry
soon!
