Took my gal to the picture show Just the other day But when I tried to hold her hand Here's what she had to say No not now (No not now) No not now (No not now) No not now But maybe next week Somehow Walked my gal home to the door And asked her for a kiss But she quickly turned away And then she told me this No not now (No not now) No not now (No not now) No not now But maybe next week Somehow I asked my gal to marry me Reckon what she said She said, I wouldn't marry you If all the rest were dead No not now (No not now) No not now (No not now) No not now But maybe next week Somehow But she went and changed her mind How I regret that day 'Cause every since I married her Here's all that she can say No not now (No not now) No not now (No not now) No not now But maybe next week Somehow I stayed out too late last night On a little spree And when I asked her to let me in Here's all she said to me No not now (No not now) No not now (No not now) No not now But maybe next week Somehow
