Hey Maria pappa said you'd better go to bed
|
Maria mamma said you'd better go to bed
|
And little sister said you'd better go to bed
|
The older brother said
|
You heard what pappa said
|
You'd better say goodnight
|
You'd better shut the light
|
|
And pappa told you no,
|
You can't go out tonight
|
|
But pappa didn't know
|
Maria had a date
|
And couldn't let him wait
|
So in a little while
|
|
She waited till the lights were low
|
She went out to the window to her beau
|
And so...
|
|
There was a lot of huggin' and
|
A lot of kissin' and
|
A lot of huggin' and
|
A lot of kissin' and
|
A lot of happy talk
|
A lot of moon above
|
But very little time
|
But very little time
|
|
To make a lot of love
|
To make a lot of love
|
Which is a normal thing
|
To make a lot of love
|
For it was summertime
|
When all the crickets sing
|
And in the summertime
|
|
When anyone's in love
|
The crickets sing a happy song
|
But they didn't do their repertoire for long
|
|
Suddenly the pappa came,
|
And then the mamma came,
|
And then the sister came,
|
And then the brother came,
|
And then the uncle came,
|
And then the cousin came,
|
And even --- came,
|
|
And I can tell you,
|
This, it was a dirty shame
|
Because the pappa came,
|
And then the mamma came,
|
And then the sister came,
|
And then the brother came,
|
And then the cousin came,
|
And even --- came,
|
|
I can tell you this,
|
Do-do-do-do
|
|
|
When anyone's in love
|
The crickets sing a happy song
|
But they didn't do their repertoire for long
|
|
Suddenly the pappa came,
|
And then the mamma came,
|
And then the sister came,
|
And then the brother came,
|
And then the uncle came,
|
And then the cousin came,
|
And even --- came,
|
|
And I can tell you,
|
This, it was a dirty shame
|
Because the pappa came,
|
And then the mamma came,
|
And then the sister came,
|
And then the brother came,
|
And then the cousin came,
|
And even --- came,
|
|
And I can tell you
|
Suddenly the pappa came,
|
and then the mamma came,
|
and then the sister came,
|
and then the brother came,
|
And then the uncle came,
|
And then the cousin came,
|
And even --- came,
|
|
And I can tell you,
|
This, it was a dirty shame
|
Because the pappa came,
|
And then the mamma came,
|
And then the sister came,
|
And then the brother came,
|
And then the cousin came,
|
And even --- came,
|
|
And I can tell you

Suddenly the pappa came,
|
And then the mamma came,
|
And then the sister came,
|
And then the brother came,
|
And then the uncle came,
|
And then the cousin came,

And even --- came,
|

And I can tell you,
|

|
Because the pappa came,
|
And then the mamma came,
|
And then the sister came,
|
And then the brother came,
|
And then the cousin came!
