E                             C#m
There's a fellow following me, I'm the fellow following you.
 A                                    E
I will follow you 'till the day is through
                         B
I wonder what you would do,
                         E                    B          B7
If I stopped and said "How do you do?" like other girls do.

E                                       C#m
I think I'd die with delight. I want to call and love you tonight.

F#
In the parlor?  No.  In a hammock?   No.

                                   B     B7
Then for goodness' sake, where will we go?

     E
Out on the old front porch.   Well, hold me, Charlie!

  F#
On the old front porch.    Now, stop!

   B
I was only trying to steal a little kiss

 E                F               F#                B
Well, kisses do invite me, but please don't hug so tightly.

  E                                              F#
On the old front porch,   Now, don't get angry, on the old front porch.

Please, stop!
B
Everything is lovely when you're cuddled near me, dear.

 E                                                        C#
Look out, here come my father, and he'll surely scold, I fear.

  A                    D                  E
Will that young man go home tonight or have his breakfast here?

E                                          F#     B       E     B
On the old front porch! Oh charlie on the old   front   porch! 

 E                                    C#m
Just call back some other night  I'll see that Pa's out of sight.

  A                                 E                         B
Wait until it's dark.  Then you can be   Cuddled right on my knee.

                   E                          B        B7
So that we can do lots of nice things   And no one can see.

   E                                 C#m
And if your dreadful old pa    Should come out and give me a jar

   F#
You must understand,  If it's dark, that's grand!  'Cause the kick he aims
 B                B7
Will   never    land!

 E
Out on the old front porch.  Well, hold me, Charlie!

 F#
On the old front porch.  Now, stop!

 E                F              F#                B
Well, kisses do invite me, but gee, you tried to bite me!

 E                                              F#
On the old front porch,  Now, don't get angry, on the old front porch.


Please, stop!
