Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lend me your comb
It's time to go home
I gotta confess
My hair is a mess
[Verse 2]
Your mama will scold
Your daddy will shout
Unless we come in
The way we went out
[Verse 3]
Kissin' you was fun, honey bun
Thanks for the date
The time has come to run, honey bun
You know, baby, it's getting late
[Verse 4]
Just wait till I straighten my tie
Lend me your comb
We gotta go home
[Verse 5]
Kissin' you was fun, honey bunny
Thanks for the date
The time has come to run, honey bun
But sugar booger, it's gettin' late
[Verse 6]
Just wait till I straighten my tie
Lend me your comb
We gotta go home
