Текст песни Yes, My Darling Daughter - Benny Goodman , Helen Forrest

I've got to be good or mama 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, mama darling
And it's shining on the water
Mother, must I keep on dancing?
Yes, indeed, my darling daughter

What if he'll propose, mama darling
When the night is growing shorter
Mother, what should be my answer?
Yes, my darling daughter

Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama

What if he should insist on one embrace
Mama, how can I keep him in his place
If his manner becomes a shade improper?
Tell him that your heart belongs to papa

Mother, will it be exciting?
Mother, do I look inviting?
If he holds me tight, mama darling
And my knees just turn to water
Mother, must I keep on dancing?
What if he persists, mama darling
Doing things he hadn't oughter
Mother, what should be my answer?
