Mother, May I Go Out to Swim (Bathing Song)
Mother, May I Go Out to Swim (Bathing Song)
(Lester Keith)
A sweet little peach from Manhattan Beach
Was strolling upon the sand,
And met a young sport from jolly Newport
Who thought she was perfectly grand
She murmured to him, “I’d go take a swim,
But I am engaged to be wed,
Though it’s very warm, it’s very bad form.”
“Yours looks good to me,” he said
She answered right away, “To Ma I used to say”
cho: Mother may I go out to swim,
Yes my darling daughter,
Hang your clothes on a hickory limb,
But don’t go near the water.
You may look cute in your bathing suit,
But act just as you oughter,
Now and then you can flirt with the men,
But don’t go near the water.................
