Yes, my darling daughter

I've gotta be good or momma 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,
Momma darling, and it's shining on the water?
Mother, must I keep on dancing?
Yes, my darling daughter!

What if he'll propose,
Momma darling, when the night is growing shorter?
Mother, what should be my answer?
"Yes", my darling daughter!
