Don't start courtin' in a hot rod,
but in a buggy like your mom and dad.
How can you whisper sweet love words
when you can't hear nothin' that's said?
I love to hear the clop
of old Aubin's feet.
I love to hear twin pipes
a -roarin' down the street.
Don't start courtin' in a hot rod,
but in a buggy like your mom and dad.
My little Molly,
you're sure growin' up.
Seems only yesterday
that you were just a pup.
A young man is callin',
he should be on his way
When he comes to meet me,
I can hear you say
Don't start courtin' in a hot rod
But in a buggy like your mom and dad
How can you whisper sweet love words
When you can't hear nothin' but sad?
I love to hear the clop
of old Doblin's feet
I love to hear twin pipes
roarin' down the street
Don't start courtin' in a hot rod
But in a buggy like your mom and dad
Hey there, Dad, start gettin' cool
I don't dig datin' when
you went to school
It's the middle of summer
and I'm anything but cool
I wanna meet this hot rock
and tell him the rule
Don't start portin' in a hot rod
Put in a boogie like your mom and dad
How can you whisper sweet love words
when you can't hear nothing but sand?
I love to hear the clop
of old Dobbin's feet.
I love to hear twin pipes
roaring down the street.
Don't slack -courtin' in a hot rod,
but in a buggy like your mom and dad.
Everything is ready
for your young man to call
The mare's all harnessed to the buggy
and all I can hear him say,
hoppin' molasses
This rig is the end,
but where do you put the gas?
Don't start portin' in a hot rod
But in a buggy like your mom and dad
How can you whisper sweet love words
when you can't hear nothin' that's said?
I love to hear the clop of old Aubin's feet.
I love to hear twin pipes
pourin' down the street.
Don't start courtin' in a hot rod,
but in a boggie like your mama's got!
