Testo Goin' Co'tin' - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - Original London Cast
Testo della canzone Goin' Co'tin' (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - Original London Cast), tratta dall'album Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Original London Cast Recording)
Now when you meet a girl
Don't grab for her like she was some flapjack
Hold off for a while
Offer her your arm
Go on
Then you ask her for a stroll
Then you tell her how pretty she is
Then you call her "My dear"
"My darling"
"My precious"
"My pet"
Goin' courtin', goin' courtin'
Oh, it sets your senses in a whirl
Goin' courtin', goin' courtin'
Doodlin' up to go and see your girl
Oh, it's fun to hunt and shoot a gun
Or to catch a rabbit on the run
But you'll find it's twice as sportin'
Goin' courtin'
Aye, yes, Millie!
You gotta wait for her, Caleb!
Yes, ma'am!
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 is grand
You hem and haw a little while
She gives you kind of half a smile
You cuddle up, she moves away
Then the strategy comes into play
Well, come on
Aw, shucks, Millie!
You wanna learn, don't ya?
Yes, ma'am!
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'
How about sparkin'?
Parlor's darkin'
Yeah!
And you're longing for a fond embrace
How about petting?
And sofa-setting!
Suppose she ups and slaps your face?
Yeah!
Just remember blessed are the meek
Don't forget to turn the other cheek
Pretty soon you'll both be lockin'
Goin' sparkin'
Goin' dancin'
Goin' dancin'?
At a fancy ball or minuet
Come on, Caleb!
Goin' dancin'
You'll impress her with your etiquette
Benjamin, Ephraim
Do what we're doin'
Aw, come on!
You mean that men learn how to dance?
Yes, it came direct from Paris, France
It'll help with your romancin'
Goin' dancin'
Come on, boys, look
Right over, left over, around, down, up
Again, right over, left over, around, down, up
Hop like a bunny
Again and right over, left over, around, down, up
That was very good!
Are you sure men do this stuff?
Well, you want a girl of your own, don't you?
Oh, I don't want no gal expects her man to do no sissy stuff
Well now, why would a big strong man like
You be afraid of a little thing like dancin'?
Aw, gee, Millie
All right, boys, come on now, form a circle
Right hand to right hand
Ready, go!
Good
You're gettin' the idea
Gideon!
Come on, Enoch!
Come on, Gideon, right hand
This dancin', Millie?
That's what they call it, Caleb
Wow, I must be dancin'!
Oh, you're really doing fine
Look at me, I'm dancin'!
Oh, Gideon, I'm a-movin'
Gideon, are you all right?
Yes, ma'am!
Come on, boy!
Ephraim?
Yes, ma'am!
I must be dreaming!
Daniel!
Yes, ma'am!
Well
Frank!
Yeah!
Oh, Frank, you're so strong
Benjamin!
Ma'am!
Caleb!
Millie!
Gideon!
Whoo! Whoo!
Come on, Gideon!
Whoo!
Come on, boy!
Boys!
Goin' courtin', goin' courtin'
Oh, it sets your senses in a whirl
Goin' courtin', goin' courtin'
Doodlin' up to go and see your girl
Oh, it's fun to hunt and shoot a gun
Or to catch a rabbit on the run
But you'll find it's twice as sportin'
Goin' courtin'
Whoo!
Whoo! Whoo!
Millie!
Boys!
Yee-haw!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Whoo!
Keep your fishin'
And bustin'
And fightin'
And cussin'
And trappin'
'Cause we're
Goin' courtin'!
