Lyrics
Your daddy don't mind at all if I come around
Your daddy is okay with my presence as long as I don't overstay.
As long as I don't stay all night
Emphasizes the condition that I shouldn't stay overnight.
Your mother Mary is giving me the eye ball
Your mother Mary is suspicious or disapproving of our interaction.
She doesn't know if you'd be alright
She is uncertain about your well-being in this situation.
Said they were taking a trip, going south for a bit
Your parents are going on a trip to the south for a while.
Gonna see whatever sights they can see
They plan to explore various sights during their trip.
So good-bye now, have a real good holiday
Bidding farewell and wishing for a great holiday.
Kiss them once and pocket the keys
Kiss them once and discreetly take their keys.
{chorus}
Chorus: Encouraging the listener to leave and have a good time away.
Said go on, go on, Go Away
Reiterates the advice to go away.
Have a good time but won't you Go Away
Wishing a good time but urging to depart.
When it's late at night you signal with the porch light
Using a porch light signal late at night as a sign to come over.
That's a green light to me
Interpreting the porch light as a signal to proceed.
Then we head up to your lovely little bedroom
Heading to the listener's bedroom with anticipation.
Anticipating what there will be
Expecting a romantic encounter in the bedroom.
There's parasols and your baby dolls
Describing the bedroom with parasols and baby dolls.
Undo me honey babe I can't wait
Expressing eagerness and impatience for intimacy.
But there's a car coming this way it's pulling in the driveway
Alerting to the arrival of a car, potential trouble.
Your folks are home hope I can escape
Hoping to escape before encountering the listener's parents.
Screaming get off, get out, Go Away
Encountering disapproval from the parents, being told to leave.
Call me tomorrow but won't you go on, go on
A suggestion to call the next day, despite the current situation.
Go Away
Reiteration of the advice to go away.
Go on, go on, go away
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the need to leave.
Go on, go on, go away
-Go on, go on, go on
-Go on, go on, go on
-Go on, go on, go on
-Go on, go on, go away
