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
