There's lots o' things you gotta know,
be sure the parlor light is low,
you sidle up and squeeze her hand,
let me tell you fellas that it's 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 in to play.

Goin' cotin' Goin' cotin
oh, it sets your senses in a whirl.
Goin' cotin' Goin' cotin'
Dudin' up to go and see a 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' cotin'

Goin' cotin' Goin' cotin
you're a settin' on the old settee.
Goin' cotin' Goin' cotin'
she's as shy and prim as she can be.
So you pucker up and take good aim
and you bag the sweetest kind o' game,
but that ain't no bag you're totin'
Goin' cotin'
