Goin' courtin'
Goin' courtin'
Oh it sets your senses in a whirl
Goin' courtin'
Goin' courtin'
Doodin' up to go and see a girl
Oh it's fun to hunt and shoot a gun
Or to catch a rabbit on the run
But you'll find it twice as sportin'
Goin' courtin'

Now there's lots of things you 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' courtin'
Goin' courtin'
If you find it hard to break the ice
Goin' courtin'
Goin' courtin'
Here's a little feminine advice:
Roll your eyes and heave a little sigh
Grunt and groan like you're about to die
That is what's known as emotin'
Goin' courtin'

(dialogue)

...Just remember blessed are the meek
Don't forget to turn the other cheek
Pretty soon you'll both be larkin'
Goin' sparkin'

(Milly)Goin' dancin'
(Boys) Goin dancin?!
(Milly) At a fancy ball or minuet
Goin' dancin'
Goin' dancin'
You'll impress them with your etiquette

...Yes it came direct from Paris, France
It'll help with your romancin'
Goin' dancin

(dancing)

Keep your dancin'!
And huntin'!
And shootin'!
And fightin'!
And trappin'!
'Cause we're goin' courtin'!
