Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me
Popular Song
Ma, he's making eyes at me
Ma, he's awful nice to me
Ma, he's almost breaking my heart
I'm beside him
Mercy! Let his conscience guide him!
Ma, he wants to marry me
Be my honey bee
Every minute he gets bolder
Now he's leaning on my shoulder
Ma, he's kissing me.
Ma, he's making eyes at me
Ma, he's awful nice to me
Ma, he's almost breaking my heart
If you peek in, can't you see
I'm goin' to weaken
Ma, he wants to marry me,
Be my honey bee
Ma, I'm meeting with resistance
I shall holler for assistance
Ma, he's kissing me.
Notes
There's a longer version with these additional verses:
Little Lilly was oh, so silly and shy
And all the fellows knew,
She wouldn't bill and coo:
Every single night some smart fellow would try
To cuddle up to her,
But she would cry.
Lilly was so good, every body could tell.
You'd never see her roam,
She'd always stay at home;
All the neighbors knew little Lilly too well.
For when the boys would call,
They'd hear her yell…
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks!
