Yes My Darling Daughter (Featuring Marion Hutton) - Glenn Miller

I’ve gotta be good or mama will scold me

Yes, yes, yes

I asked her and this is what she told me

Yes, yes, yes

Mother, may I go out dancing?

Yes, my darling daughter

Mother, may I try romancing?

Yes, my darling daughter

What if there’s a moon, mama darling, and it’s shining on the water

Mother, must I keep on dancing?

Yes, my darling daughter

What if he’ll propose, mama darling, when the night is growing shorter?

Mother, what should be my answer?

Yes, my darling daughter

Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama

What if he should insist on one embrace, mama

How can I keep him in his place

If his manner becomes a shade improper?

Tell him that your heart belongs to papa

Mother, will it be exciting?

Yes, my darling daughter

Mother, 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 should be my answer?

Yes, my darling daughter
