The other night I went to
pick my darling up at eight
another feller at the gate
to tell this feller what to do
In case you're wondering what I said,
I said, now if you're here
after what I'm here after,
you had better move along
Oh, buddy, if you're here
after what I'm here after,
I'll be here after you're gone
Well, we went honky -tonking
and we danced across the floor
I felt so fine for she was mine,
now who could ask for more?
When someone tapped my shoulder
as the band began to play
I says to him, no cutting in,
I said, now if you're here
after what I'm here after
You had better move along
Oh, buddy, if you're here
after what I'm here after
I'll be here after you're gone
Imagine my surprise tonight
For there she was a -lovin' up
now looky here what's going on
that there's my sugar pie
he turned to me he's six foot three
he said now if you're here
after what i'm here after
you had better move along
oh buddy if you're here after what
i'm here after i'll be here after
