Mother - Mother, What Do I Do Now? lyrics

(From the 1940 movie Dance, Girl, Dance) I am not a goody goody Just a baby in the woody Love has got me worried and perplexed. Oh yeah! Gosh oh gee, I want my mamma Goodness me, I need my mamma Maybe she could tell me What comes next. I tell you. My mother told me There be days like this When I wouldn't know what to do She told me what not to do. She said some boy Would take me in his arms And tell me oh what lie. But did mother realize That boy would be you. Or you. She means me. No not you. It's a date honey. Or you. What will job buddy. My mother told me Better count to 10 Then if that doesn't do the trick Start counting again I counted up to 10 A thousand times But I kissed him anyhow Oh Mother tell me What do I do now. My mother told me There be days like this When the wind would begin to blow And I wouldn't know where to go. She said a night would be so cold and dark And I'd be all alone And every dream I'd own Would blow away. My mother told me Baby you keep warm Keep your little self bundled up When you're caught in a storm. She told me just exactly what to do But didn't tell me how Oh mother mother. Hey mom! What do I do now?
