Don't Start Courtin' in a Hot Rod

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 Dobbin'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

My little Molly, you're sure growin' up

Seems only yesterday that you were just a pup

A young man is callin' and 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' that's said?

I love to hear the clop of old Dobbin'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 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 Dobbin'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

Everything is ready for your young man to call

The mare's all harnessed to the buggy and all

I can hear him say, "Hop and molass

This rig is the end, but where do you put the gas?"

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 Dobbin'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
