Yes, my darling daughter lyrics
by Dinah Shore



I've gotta be good or mamma 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 mamma darling
and it's shining on the water
Mother must I keep on dancing
Yes my darling daughter
What if he'll propose mamma darling
when the night is growing shorter
Mother what should be my answer
Yes my darling daughter
Ah Mamma, Oh Mamma
Ah Mamma, Oh Mamma
What if he should insist on one embrace
Mamma 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 Mamma darling
and my knees just turn to water
Mother must I keep on dancing
Yes my darling daughter
What if he persists mamma darling
Doing things he hadn't oughter
Mother what should be my answer
Yes and no my daughter
