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
