Datin' is a game that grown-ups play
Datin' means acting in a silly way
Datin' makes a gal start wiggle walking
Datin' makes a guy start baby talking
Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round
Grown-ups are the biggest kids I've found
You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
A don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
'Cause some day you'll be datin' too
Datin' makes a guy comb his hair just right
His gal can mess it up when they kiss good-night
Datin' makes you quarrel and say you'll break up
Just because it's so much fun to make up
Children can't wait to grow up but then
They're datin’ and they're acting like kids again
You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
A don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
Some day you'll be datin' too
