Lyrics

Tonite (Pretty Mama)
Words and music by
The Woodmen

Verse One

Long ago, far away
I met a young lady on a summer's day
She caught my eye, I caught my breath
I knew right away her kiss meant death

So I combed my hair, straightened my shirt
I walked up to the lady in that mini-skirt
I asked her out, sheasked me in
And ever since then I've been "In like Flynn"

Chorus

Tonite (pretty mama)
Hold me close tonite
make me feel alright
make me feel that you and me are gonna last forever

Verse Two

Well, the weeks went by, one by one
Me and my lady were just havin' fun
She'd call me up, I'd run right down
I'd start chasin' her skirt tail around and around

But the other nite, picked up the phone
Thinkin' my lady would be home alone
Her boss picked up, she kicked me out
There sure ain't nothin' like executive clout

Chorus

Tonite (pretty mama)
Hold me close tonite
make me feel alright
make me feel that you and me are gonna last forever

Bridge Verse

Well listen pretty mama you sure talk sweet
Now you've gone and knocked me off my feet
But that's alright 'cause I don't mind
Even though I'll miss you to the end of time

Verse Three

Be sure to look before you leap
The moral of the story is that cliff is steep
Go long on skirts, go short on love
"Cause God knows the trouble she'll be thinkin' of

Well I 6thought I's learned, was on my way
But I met a young lady in the church today
Her prayer was short but her legs were long
If the Lord is willin' then it can't be wrong

Chorus

Tonite (pretty mama)
Hold me close tonite
make me feel alright
make me feel that you and me are gonna last forever

Tonite (pretty mama)
Hold me close tonite
make me feel alright
make me feeel that you and me are gonna last forever
