I met my baby at the bottom of the hill
I said: Take me with you, I love you still
We got all the things we need tonight
We'll scoot uptown and do the bride
Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true
Standing there, smooching in the cold moonlight
Saw a Model A with the lights on bright
Thought it was Pa, turn me loose
If it had been, he'd cooked his goose
Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true
The man in the car said: How about a ride?
I'll give you a lift, she'll be your bride
What do you say, baby?
Let's go right now
Who gives a hoot what Pa don't allow?
Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true
Well, the Ford went rocking and bopping along
Hugging my sugar while I hummed this song
My folks think we're out on a date
They won't know until it's too late
Let's elope, honey
Pa's asleep, and Ma is too
Let's elope, baby
The preacher is waiting, and my heart is true
