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 Let's elope, honey Pa's asleep, and Ma is too Let's elope, baby The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true Standing there, smooching in the cold moonlight Saw a Model A with the lights on bright Thought it was Pa, turn me loose If it had been, he'd cooked his goose Let's elope, honey Pa's asleep, and Ma is too Let's elope, baby The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true The man in the car said: How about a ride? I'll give you a lift, she'll be your bride What do you say, baby? Let's go right now Who gives a hoot what Pa don't allow? Let's elope, honey Pa's asleep, and Ma is too Let's elope, baby The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true Well, the Ford went rocking and bopping along Hugging my sugar while I hummed this song My folks think we're out on a date They won't know until it's too late Let's elope, honey Pa's asleep, and Ma is too Let's elope, baby The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true
