[Verse 1]
I saw this chick walking down the street
She looked so fancy, got me off of my knees
I said "Would you like to partake in a show?"
She said "Indubitably, I'd-a love to know"
She said "Oh" (Oh shucks)
"Oh, oh, but you got to ask my father
And my mother"
[Verse 2]
I asked her mother if she would agree
She said "Now son, it's alright with me"
She said "I don't mind my daughter going out on dates"
"Just make sure you don't keep her out too late"
But oh, what they don't know
You got to take her sister and her little brother
[Refrain]
Her sister on my left, and her brother on my right
I thought this might be an interesting night
I hope they don't bug me so I'll have to go
'Cause I want to make some lovin' in the picture show
[Verse 3]
I told her mama it was alright with me
That tonight I'll poppin' it out
Take out the whole family
"Ya got to take your uncle
And your auntie"
[Refrain]
Her sister on my left, her brother on my right
I thought this might be an interesting night
I hope they don't bug me so I'll have to go
'Cause I want to make some lovin' in the picture show
[Verse 4]
I told her mother it was alright with me
Tonight I'm poppin', I'll take out the whole family
She said "Now son, there is a one thing more"
"There is some more of us that will have to go"
I said "Oh" (Oh shucks) "Oh no"
"Ya got to take the turtle
And the poodle"
[Outro]
I said "Oh" (Oh shucks) "Oh no"
Ya got to pick up granny
And grandpa
And Uncle Harry
And Aunt Bessie
And Aunt Marie
And Cousin Susie
And Grandpa Paul
And Uncle Tom
And Innie May
And Cousin Lil
And Cousin Bill"
