I COME HERE TO BE WENT WITH BUT I AIN'T BEEN YET
Words by Delmar Smith Porter & Donnell Clyde Cooley; music by Carl Hoefle.
As recorded by Ginny Jackson with Spade Cooley, 1950.

I come here to be went with, but I ain't been yet.
I come here to be kissed with, but I ain't been yet.
He promised he would meet me in the middle of the block.
We made a date for half past eight and now it's twelve o'clock.

I come here to be went with, but I ain't been yet.
I come here to be hugged with, but I ain't been yet.
But I'll keep on right on waiting; gee, I hope he don't forget.
I come here to be went with, but I ain't been yet.

I come here to be went with, but I ain't been yet.
I come here to be smooched with, but I ain't been yet.
That boy had better hurry if he plans on thrilling me,
'Cause I've been waiting here so long my feet are killing me.

I come here to be went with, but I ain't been yet.
I come here to be squeezed with, but I ain't been yet.
I miss the kissin' that I'm missin' cause I'm all upset.
I come here to be went with, but I ain't been yet.

Ho hum!
I guess I'll go back home.
