Hey Maria pappa said you'd better go to bed
Maria mamma said you'd better go to bed
And little sister said you'd better go to bed
And your old brother said you heard what pappa said
you'd better say goodnight you'd better shut the light
And pappa told you: no, you can't go out tonight
But pappa didn't know Maria had a date
And couldn't let him wait so in a little while

She waited till the lights were low
She went out to the window to her beau so

A happy man let her kissing him and let her hugging
And let her kissing him and let a happy thought
And that was wonderful let her happy talk
How very libertin how very make a lot of love
Make a lot of love
Which is just a normal thing to make a lot of love
For it was summer time when all the crickets sing
And it was summer time

When anyone's in love
The crickets sing a happy song
But they didn't do their repertoire for long

Suddenly the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
And then the uncle came, and then the cousin came
And even cousin came

And I can tell you, this, it was a dirty shame
Because the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
And then the cousin came, and even cousin came

I can tell you this, doo doo

when anyone's in love
the crickets sing a happy song
but they didn't do their repertoire for long

Suddenly the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
And then the uncle came, and then the cousin came
And even cousin came

And I can tell you, this, it was a dirty shame
Because the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
And then the cousin came, and even cousin came

And I can tell you, this, it was a dirty shame
Because the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
And then the uncle came, and then the cousin came
And even cousin came

And I can tell you, this, it was a dirty shame
Because the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
And then the cousin came, and even cousin came

And I can tell you, this, it was a dirty shame
Because the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
And then the cousin came, and even cousin came

And I can tell you, this, it was a dirty shame
Because the pappa came, and then the mamma came
And then the sister came, and then the brother came
