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 its shining on the water
Mother must I keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?

What if he'll propose Mama darling
As the night is growing shorter
Mother must I keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
What if there's a moon and it's shining on
Shining on the water
Mother must I keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
What if he should insist on fond embrace, mama
How'm I gonna keep him in his place?
If his manner becomes a shade improper
Tell him that your heart belongs to Papa
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter
Mama must I keep on dancing
Keep on dancing?
Yes my darling daughter?
