Title Yes my darling daughter
Lyrictext

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, mama darling, and it's shining on the water
Mother, must I keep on dancing?
Yes, my darling daughter
What if he'll propose, mama darling, when the night is growing shorter?
Mother, what should be my answer?
Yes, my darling daughter

Mama, will it be exciting?
Yes, my darling daughter
Mama, do I look inviting?
Yes, my darling daughter

If he holds me tight, mama darling, and my knees just turn to water
Mama must I keep on dancing?
Yes, my darling daughter
What if he'll persist, mama darling, doing things he hadn't oughta
Mama, what'll be my answer?
Yes, yes
Yes, yes
Yes, yes
My darling daughter
