Keeping him in suspense
RED DRESS, TATTOO, TAXI


Little girl, little girl, what does your TATTOO say?
I cannot see it, you have it well hidden away.

Little boy, little boy, it's under my RED DRESS
I know what it says, but you can only guess!

Little girl, little girl, stop playing this teasing game
Do you have a tattoo of your loved one's fair name?

Little boy, little boy, to you my tattoo is a mystery
If you solve this riddle, you'll have won a great victory!

Little girl, little girl, the suspense makes my head spin
This game of yours is one that I must win!

Little boy, little boy, you must take me home now
Or you'll find there's a frown upon my father's brow.

The teenagers took a TAXI to her front gate
It wasn't midnight yet, so they were not late.

Little girl, quick, don't let your Dad see this
And he leaned across and gave her a light kiss.

Little boy, we've had fun, but now I must go
Come and pick me up at 6 PM tomorrow.

The lad took the cab on to his house
There, he crept in, quiet as a mouse.

But his parents knew all about teenagers dating
They were in the living room silently waiting.

"Was it fun? Is she nice? What did you do?"
"Well I just tried to solve the mystery of her tattoo."

His mother blushed, his father said, "Well!
"Listen, son, I have a secret to tell ...

"Your Mom has a tattoo, which she didn't let me see
Till I'd proposed and she'd said 'yes' to me."

The boy's jaw dropped - Mom? Tattoo? What?
He felt himself going red, his face getting hot.

His mother said, "Yes, I refrained from revealing
"Our wedding night was the tattoo's unveiling.

"Look at how you blush, and you won't meet our eyes
"Our son is going to be a bridegroom, oh, how time flies!"
