Courtin’ Proper

You should wash up really good
Get on your best Sunday clothes
Don’tcha wear too much juice
Snip those hairs outta your nose

Show up to her house on time
Her Dad will answer that door
If he asks about your intentions
Be honest what you’re there for

To court her proper
Tell ’em you’re courtin’ proper
Courtin’ proper
Hopefully, they won’t stop her
from seein’ a guy like you
And if they do, that’s nothin’ new
You cause trouble, they’ll call a Copper
Instead just go out and have fun
Just don’t bring your gun
That’s courtin’ proper
Courtin’ proper

For day dates take her on a picnic
or out to a romantic picture show
And when she tells ya somethin’
Don’t tell her ya don’t wanna know

Girls, if he gets handsy with you
Don’t you give in to him so fast
Tell him you wanna take it slow
You want somethin’ that will last

And boys when she tells you that
Know she likes you for who you are
Not the boy who brags to his friends
that you went all the way in your car

So court her proper
Tell ’em you’re courtin’ proper
Courtin’ proper
If no play right away, don’tcha drop her
Any night could be the “night she fell”
’til then treat her like a Southern Belle
If she’s a special heart-stopper
She’ll want deeply to be…
Courtin’ proper

Courtin’ proper
Courtin’ proper
Courtin’ proper
Courtin’ proper
