Lyrics

Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin'
Oh, it sets your senses in a whirl
Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin'
Dudin' up to go and see your girl
Oh, it's fun to hunt and shoot a gun
Or to catch a rabbit on the run
But you'll find it's twice as sportin'
Goin' co'tin'
Now, there's lots of things you've gotta know
Be sure the parlor light is low
You sidle up and squeeze her hand
Let me tell you fellas that it's grand
You hem and haw - a little while
She gives you kinda - half a smile
You cuddle up - she moves away
Then the strategy comes into play
Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin'
If you find it hard to break the ice
Goin' co'tin', goin' co'tin'
Here's a little feminine advice
Roll your eyes and heave a little sigh (Frank sighs)
Grunt and groan like you're about to die (Caleb groans)
That is what's known as emotin'
Goin' co'tin'
Ah, how about sparkin'?
Parlor's darkin'?
Yeah
And you're longin' for a fond embrace?
Uh-huh
What about pettin'?
And sofa-settin'?
Ah, suppose she ups and slaps your face?
Just remember, blessed are the meek
Don't forget to turn the other cheek
Pretty soon you'll both be larkin'
Goin' sparkin'
Goin' dancin'
GOIN' DANCIN' !?
At a fancy ball or minuet
Goin' dancin'
You'll impress her with your etiquette
You mean - men are learnin' how to dance?
Uh-huh, yes, it came direct from Paris, France
It will help with your romancin'
Goin' dancin'
Keep your dancin'!
And huntin'!
And shootin'!
And fightin'!
And trappin'!
'Cos we're goin' co'tin'
