Don't Go In The Water Daughter 1908

Mother may I go out to swim,
in the deep blue sea,
Yes, my darling daughter,
but don't go near the water,
A bathing suit is sweetly cute,
but daughter don't forget:
A girl's a sight
and looks a fright,
the moment she gets wet,
so dear, take my advice,
you'll find it worth the price.

Don't go in the water, daughter,
Don't go in the sea,
Take a tip from me,
Remember now, daughter,
keep out of the water,
for ev'ry peach should be in reach,
so use diplomacy,
Take a sunbath on the beach,
but don't go in the sea.

Don't go in the water, daughter,
Don't go in the sea,
Take a tip from me,
Remember now, daughter,
keep out of the water,
for ev'ry peach should be in reach,
so use diplomacy,
Take a sunbath on the beach,
but don't go in the sea.

Mother my new pink bathing suit,
came from gay Paree,
Yes, my darling daughter,
but don't go near the water,
If it should shrink,
I'd hate to think,
what daughter dear would do,
You wouldn't hide
beneath your pride,
or under skies of blue,
The moving picture men,
take snapshots now and then.

Don't go in the water, daughter,
Don't go in the sea,
Take a tip from me,
Remember now, daughter,
keep out of the water,
for ev'ry peach should be in reach,
so use diplomacy,
Take a sunbath on the beach,
but don't go in the sea.

Don't go in the water, daughter,
Don't go in the sea,
Take a tip from me,
Remember now, daughter,
keep out of the water,
for ev'ry peach should be in reach,
so use diplomacy,
Take a sunbath on the beach,
but don't go in the sea.
