Goin' Co'tin'

Goin' Co'tin' - Ruby Murray

Gee fellas if you want to catch a girl

You're going about it the wrong way

There's lots of things you got to know

Be sure the pallor lights are low

You sidle up and squeeze her hand

Let me tell you fellars that it's grand

You hum and haw a little while

She gives you kind of half a smile

You cuddle up she moves away

Then the strategy comes into play

Going courting going courting

Oh it sets your senses in a whirl

Going courting going courting

Duding up to go and see a girl

Oh it's fun to hunt and shoot a gun

Or to catch a rabbit on the run

But you'll find it's twice as sporting

Going courting

Going courting going courting

You're a sitting on the old settee

Going courting going courting

She's as shy and prim as she can be

So you purse your lips and take good aim

And you bag the sweetest kind of game

But that ain't no bag you're toting

Going courting

Going courting going courting

Oh it sets your senses in a whirl

Going courting going courting

Duding up to go and see a girl

So you purse your lips

And take good aim

Afore I know it you have changed my name

Going courting yeah
