Yes My Darling Daughter

Yes My Darling Daughter - Dinah Shore

I've gotta 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 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 yes my darling daughter

Mother do I look inviting yes my darling daughter

If he holds me tight mama darling and my knees just turn to water

Mama must I keep on dancing yes my darling daughter

What if he'll persist mama darling doing things he hadn't oughta

Mama what should be my answer yes and no my daughter
