Let's Elope, Baby

I met my baby at the bottom of the hill
I said, take me with i love you still
We got all the things we need tonight
We’ll scoot uptown and do the bride

Let’s elope baby, pa’s asleep and ma is too
Let’s elope baby …
The preacher is a-waitin’ and my heart is true

Standin’ there smootchin’ in the cold moonlight
Saw a model “a” with the lights on bright
Thought it was pa, turn me loose
If it had a-been, he had a-cooked his goose

The man in the car said, how about a ride
I’ll give you a lift, she’ll be your bride
What you say baby, let’s go right now
Who gives a hoot what pa don’t allow

Well the ford went runnin’ and boppin’ along
Huggin’ my sugar while i humm this song
My folks think we’re out on a date
They won’t know until it’s too late
