Yes, My Darling Daughter

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, yesMother, 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 daughterOh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mamaWhat 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
