Yes My Darling Daughter

Yes My Darling Daughter - Fats Waller

Mama may I go out dancing

Yes my darling daughter

Mama may I try romancing

Yes my darling daughter

What if there's a moon mama darling

And it's shining on the water

Mama must I keep on dancing

Yes my darling daughter

What if he'll propose mama darling

When the night is growing shorter

Mama what should be my answer

Yes my darling daughter

Mama will it be exciting

Yes my darling daughter

Mama 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 be my answer

Yes yes yes yes yes

Yes my darling daughter
