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
