I took my girlfriend out the other night
We stopped at a drive -in to get a little bite
We sat in the car eating after one another
Sipping from the same straw
like a sister and a brother
We got through eating and
it was getting pretty late
So I drove her right back
up to her front gate
Cut off my motor and ask her for a kiss
And she had the nerve to tell me this
She said it ain't sanitary
It ain't sanitary
I could never let you get this little lip
We might catch again
Now I've been in love with
her cute little ways
Ever since our kindergarten days
But there's just one thing
that I couldn't understand
Why she refused to let me hold her hand
But she refused y 'all and
that's a natural fact
I tried to hold her hand and
she snatched it right back
I asked her why did she
snatch it back and frown
She said there's an
epidemic going around
An d it ain't
Santa
Clara, it ain't
Santa
Clara
I could never let you hold my hand,
we might catch again
She said it's late now,
so I'll go inside
Thank s for the food
and the little pretty ride
An d don't forget about
the prom next week
You know you promised
that you'd take me
An d by the way,
I have to go downtown
I'll need some shoes and
one of them crazy gowns
I saw your money
back at the drive -in
And I wish that you would loan me ten
I said it ain't sanitary
Oh, it ain't sanitary
Now I know you don't want to hold
this thing up yet, see
Because the germs are at your head,
check, check, check
See that little germ walkin'
off the nose like that?
All them epidemics all on the side of it
I know you don't want this thing up
