Goin' Co'tin'

Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin',
Oh, it sets your senses in a whirl.
Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin',
Doodin' up to go and see your girl.
Oh, it's fun to hunt and shoot a gun,
Or to catch a rabbit on the run.
But you'll find it's twice as sportin',
Goin' co'tin'.
Now, there's lots of things you've gotta know.
Be sure the parlor light is low.
You sidle up and squeeze her hand,
Let me tell you fellas that it's grand.
You hem and haw - a little while,
She gives you kinda - half a smile,
You cuddle up - she moves away
Then the strategy comes into play.
Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin',
If you find it hard to break the ice.
Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin',
Here's a little feminine advice.
Roll your eyes and heave a little sigh
Grunt and groan like you're about to die
That is what's known as emotin' goin' courtin'!
How 'bout parkin parlor's darkin'
And you're longing for a fond embrace
How 'bout pettin'
How 'bout sofa settin'
Suppose she up and slaps your face
Just remember "blessed are the meek"
Don't forget to turn the other cheek,
Soon you'll both be larkin',
Goin' sparkin'?
Goin' dancin'?
Goin' dancin'?
At a fancy ball or minuet.
Goin' dancin',
You'll impress her with your etiquette.
You mean that men are learnin' how to dance?
Yes, it came direct from Paris, France
It'll help with your romancin' goin' dancin'.
' courtin'
Oh, it sees your senses in a whirl
Keep your fishin'
And fussin'
And fightin'
And cussin'
And trappin'
'Cause we're goin' courtin'!
