Let's Elope Baby

I met my baby at the bottom of the hill
I said: Take me with you, I love you still
We got all the things we need tonight
We'll scoot uptown and do the bride

Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true

Standing there, smooching in the cold moonlight
Saw a Model A with the lights on bright
Thought it was Pa, turn me loose
If it had been, he'd cooked his goose

Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true

The man in the car said: How about a ride?
I'll give you a lift, she'll be your bride
What do you say, baby?
Let's go right now
Who gives a hoot what Pa don't allow?

Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true

Well, the Ford went rocking and bopping along
Hugging my sugar while I hummed this song
My folks think we're out on a date
They won't know until it's too late

Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true
