- Verse:
- Little Lilly was oh! So
silly and shy.
And all the fellows knew, She wouldn't bill and coo.
Ev'ry single night some smart fellow would try,
To cuddle up to her, But she would cry:
-
- Chorus:
- "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.
Ev'ry minute he gets bolder, Now he's leaning on my shoulder.
MA, he's kissing me!"
