Goin' Cot' Tin' (From "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers") |
| MILLY |
| Goin' courtin', goin' courtin' |
| Oh it sets your senses in a whirl. |
| Goin' courtin', goin' courtin' |
| Dudin' up to go and see your girl. |
| Oh, it’s fun to hunt and shoot a gun, |
| Or to catch a rabbit on the run |
| But you’ll find it’s twice as sportin' goin' courtin'. |
| Now there’s lots o' things you gotta know |
| Be sure the parlor light is low |
| Y' sidle up and squeeze her hand |
| Let me tell you fella’s that is grand. |
| You hem and haw a little while |
| She gives you kinda half a smile. |
| You cuddle up she moves away |
| Then the strategy comes into play. |
| Goin' courtin', goin' courtin' |
| If you find it hard to break the ice |
| Goin' courtin', goin' courtin' |
| Here’s a little feminine advice. |
| Roll your eyes and heave a little sigh. |
| Grunt and groan like you’re about to die. |
| That is what’s known as emotin' goin' courtin'! |
| BENJAMIN |
| (spoken) |
| how 'bout sparkin' |
| MILLY |
| (spoken) |
| and parlor’s darkin' |
| And you’re longing for a fond embrace |
| GIDEON |
| (spoken) |
| What about pettin' |
| EPHRAIM |
| And sofa settin' |
| CALEB |
| (spoken) |
| Ah, suppose she up and slaps your face? |
| MILLY |
| Just remember «blessed are the meek» |
| Don’t forget to turn the other cheek, |
| Pretty soon you’ll both be larkin', |
| Goin' sparkin'? |
| Goin' dancin' |
| BOYS |
| Goin' dancin'? |
| MILLY |
| At a fancy ball or minuet. |
| Goin' dancin', |
| You’ll impress her with your etiquette. |
| FRANK |
| (spoken) |
| You mean that men are learnin' how to dance? |
| MILLY |
| Yes, it came direct from Paris, France |
| It’ll help your romancin' goin' dancin'. |
| (endings differ between the musical and movie) |
| BROTHERS |
| Goin' courtin', goin' courtin' |
| Oh, it sees your senses in a whirl |
| Goin' courtin', goin' courtin' |
| Duddin' up to go and see your girl. |
| Oh it’s fun to shoot a gun |
| Or to catch a rabbit on the run, |
| But you’ll find it’s twice as sportin' |
| Goin' courtin'. |
| MILLY |
| (spoken) |
| Keep your fishin' |
| BROTHERS |
| (spoken) |
| And fussin' |
| MILLY |
| (spoken) |
| And fightin' |
| BROTHERS |

| And trappin' |
| (sung) |
| 'Cause we’re goin' courtin'! |
