Also mentioned by fumblefingers:


IS ZAT YOU MYRTLE?
Written by Bill Carlisle, Charlie Lovin, and Ira Louvin.
As recorded by Bill Carlisle, 1953.

CHORUS: "Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Did I hear Papa?"
"Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Just a minute!"
Is zat you, Myrtle? Is zat you, Myrtle?
I guess you better send that scalawag home.
(I guess you better send that scalawag home.)

1. I took my gal to the picture show.
She promised me a kiss when we got home.
My heart was a-drummin' an' I couldn't hardly wait
To get her in my arms, but her daddy was awake. CHORUS

2. One night we was settin' in the old porch swing.
I tell you it was the squeekin'est thing.
Ever' time I tried to move in close,
I could hear them big feet hit the floor. CHORUS

3. I figured out a plan all of my own.
We pulled off our shoes about a mile from home.
Soon as we turned in off o' the street,
B'lieve to my soul he heard the patter of our feet. CHORUS
