I Can't Be Late ©1187003 on CD- Hodgepodge / 2021/10/05

we'll I got myself a new, new car
and it's sitting in the lot
when I finish up my job tonight
I'm going to count up all I got
my girl is waiting at her house
and she's baking me a cake
so, I better not dilly-dally
cause you know I can't be late


chorus:
she's a very lovely, lovely girl
she cheers my heart
and brightens up my world


well the night is dark and the wind is cold
and the snow is on the ground
I know I'm going to do my best
to reach her part of town
I'll take my time and drive with care
so, I'll be safe and sound
it's a meet and greet with her mom and pop
to be sure I can come around







bridge:
she has plenty of words to say
cheering you up in a very pleasant way
softly whispers in your ear
dance, dance my dear


we'll the evening was a big success
her parents are so divine
we had a cup of tea with a piece of cake
and we talked till half past nine
I was so impressed at their friendliness
and their hospitality
that when I had to leave they said to me
your welcome any time
