We never hug in parlours
There’s too much company
But every night we do alright
Under the sweetheart tree

We never hug in motors
The traffic cops can see
But every night we do alright
Under the sweetheart tree

She’s on my sleeve at seven
We never leave till half past seven

We don’t make love in movies
We’re bashful as can be
But every night we do alright
Under the sweetheart tree

(Musical Break)

We never pet at parties
It’s not diplomacy
But every night we do alright
Under the sweetheart tree

We never spoon on porches
The neighbours bother me
But every night we do alright
Under the sweetheart tree

The moon is high above us
Oh me oh my, oh do we love us

We never neck in hallways
Her pa comes home at three
But every night we do alright
Under the sweetheart tree
