On the Old Front Porch

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh, isn't this a lovely band? And what a thrill to have them play for me And now, a little duet for you [Verse 1] There's a fellow following me I'm the fellow following you I will follow you 'til the day is through I wonder what you would do If I stopped and said, "How do you do?", like other girls do I think I'd die with delight I want to call and love you tonight In the parlor? No In the hammock? No Then for goodness' sake, where will we go? [Chorus] Out on the old front porch Well, hold me, Charlie, on the old front porch Now, stop I was only trying to steal a little kiss Well, kisses do invite me, but please, don't hug so tightly On the old front porch Now, don't get angry, on the old front porch Now, stop Everything is lovely when you're cuddled near me, dear Look out, here come my father, and he'll surely scold, I fear Will that young man go home tonight, or have his breakfast here? On the old front porch, oh, jolly On the old front porch [Verse 2] Just call back some other night I'll see that Pa's out of sight Wait until it's dark, then you can be Cuddled right on my knee So that we can do lots of nice things and no one can see And if your dreadful old pa Should come out and give me a jar You must understand, if it's dark, that's grand 'Cause the kick he aims will never land [Chorus] Out on the old front porch Well, hold me, Charlie, on the old front porch Now, stop I was only trying to steal a little kiss Well, kisses do invite me, but gee, you tried to bite me On the old front porch Now, don't get angry, on the old front porch Please don't Everything is lovely when you're cuddled near me, dear Look out, here come my father and he'll surely scold, I fear Will that young man go home tonight or have his breakfast here? On the old front porch, oh, jolly On the old front porch
