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"
[Chorus:]
Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep and ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is a-waitin' and my heart is true
Standin' there, smootchin' in the cold moonlight
Saw a model A with the lights on bright
Thought it was pa, turn me loose
If it had a-been, he'd a-cooked his goose
[Chorus]
The man in the car said, how about a ride
I'll give you a lift, she'll be your bride
What you say, baby? Let's go right now
Who gives a hoot what pa don't allow?
[Chorus]
Well the Ford went rockin' and boppin' along
Huggin' my sugar while I humm this song
My folks think we're out on a date
They won't know until it's too late
[Chorus]
