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

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

Cuddle up to her but she would cry

Ma he's making eyes at me

Ma he's awful nice to me

Ma he's almost breaking my heart

She's 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

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

You won't see I'm goin' to weaken

Ma he wants to marry me

Golly gosh oh gee

He makes me weak

He makes me nervous

I have never had such service

Ma he's kissing me
