The Old Front Porch Songtext
von Tiny Tim

Oh, isn′t this a lovely band?
And what a thrill it is to have them play for me
And now, a little duet for you

There's a fellow following me
I′m the fellow following you
I will follow you 'til the day is through
I wonder what you would do
If I stopped and said "How do you do?" like other girls do
I think I'd die with delight
I want to call and love you tonight

In the parlor? No
In the hammock? No
Then for goodness sakes, where will we go?


Out on the old front porch
Oh no, Charlie
On the old front porch
Now stop
I was only trying to steal a little kiss
Well, kisses do invite me, dear
But please don′t act so toughly
On the old front porch
Now don′t get angry
On the old front porch

Now stop
Everything is lovely when you're cuddled near me, dear
Look out, here comes my father and he′ll surely scold, I fear
Will that young man go home tonight or have his breakfast here?
On the old front porch, oh Charlie
On the old front porch

Just call 'round some other night
I′ll see that Pa's out of sight
Wait until it′s dark
Then you can be cuddled right on my knee
So that we can do lots of nice things that no one can see
And if your dreadful old Pa
Should come out and give me a jar
You must understand if it's dark, that's grand
′Cause the kick he aims will never land


Out on the old front porch
Oh no, Charlie
On the old front porch
Now stop
I was only trying to steal a little kiss
Well, kisses do invite me, dear

But gee, you tried to bite me
On the old front porch
Now don′t get angry
On the old front porch

Please don't
Everything is lovely when you′re cuddled near me, dear
Look out, here comes my father and he'll surely scold, I fear
Will that young man go home tonight or have his breakfast here?
On the old front porch, oh Charlie
On the old front porch
