Composer(s): Frank Loesser; Victor Schertzinger
Performer(s): Anne Shelton;
and various other artists



We're such a happy pair
That it isn't right, no, it isn't fair
To all those other boys I gave the air...

So, Daddy, let me stay out late
For tomorrow is our wedding date
Let the Baby kinda celebrate
Kiss the boys goodbye

Daddy, let me wear the mink
What's the difference what the neighbours think
Let the Baby linger on the brink
Oh, kiss the boys goodbye

And while I'm kissing them sentiment'ly
Keep the liberal point of view
Because I'm breaking it to them gently
That my heart belongs to you

So, Daddy, please remember this
That tomorrow starts a life of bliss
Let me show them what they're gonna miss
Kiss the boys goodbye

As sung by Mary Martin:



We're such a happy pair
That it isn't right, no, it isn't fair
To all those other boys I gave the air
So

Refrain

Martin:
Daddy, let me stay out late
For tomorrow is our wedding date
Let the baby kinda celebrate
Kiss the boys goodbye
Daddy, let me wear the mink
What's the diff'rence what the neighbors think?

Chorus:
Let the baby linger on the brink
Kiss the boys goodbye
And while I'm kissing them sentiment'ly
Keep the liberal point of view
Because I'm breaking it to them gently

Chorus and Martin:
That my heart belongs to you

Chorus:
So, Daddy, please remember this
That tomorrow starts a life of bliss

Girl:
Let me show them what they're gonna miss

Chorus:
Kiss the boys goodbye

Reprise

Martin:
Oh, Daddy, let me stay out late
Can't the baby kinda celebrate?
Beat me, Daddy, with an old whisk broom
Kiss the boys goodbye
Oh, Daddy, let me wear the mink
I don't know the words, but I think
We'll stick around and go to town
Kiss the boys goodbye
