Lyrics
- Every night at half past eight Johnny Jones comes thru the gate
Comes to see my sister Kate, Oh! how they make love
In the parlor they both go, spooning while the lights are low
While his love he’s telling, you can hear her yelling
Chorus
Don’t! Now tell me how do you get that way?
Don’t! You know that I get upset that way
Don’t! I’m very bashful you see
Don’t! you tease me, you know that I blush so easy
Don’t! I know you’re dying to cuddle me
Don’t! because I won’t, Oh!
Every time we kiss it’s thrilling, I’m so young and you’re so willing
Don’t! Don’t! Stop! Stop! Don’t stop loving me now
- Talk about a mushy pair, they’ve worn out the morris chair
Every night you’ll find them there, always making love
He knows how to hug and kiss, gets away with that and this
When he’s misbehaving, you can hear her raving
