"Datin'" lyrics
(from "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" soundtrack)
Datin' is a game that grownups play
Datin' means acting in a silly way
Datin' makes girls start wiggle walking
Datin' makes a guy start baby talking
Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round
Grownups are the biggest kids I've found
You'd think they belonged in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
'Cause someday you'll be datin' too
Datin' makes a guy comb his hair just right
His gal can mess it up when they kiss goodnight
Datin' makes you quarrel and say you'll break up
And just because it's so much fun to make up
Children can't wait to grow up but then
They're datin' and they're acting like kids again
You'd think they belonged in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
Someday you'll be datin' too
Datin' means acting in a silly way
Datin' makes girls start wiggle walking
Datin' makes a guy start baby talking
Dizzy like children on a merry-go-round
Grownups are the biggest kids I've found
You'd think they belonged in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
'Cause someday you'll be datin' too
Datin' makes a guy comb his hair just right
His gal can mess it up when they kiss goodnight
Datin' makes you quarrel and say you'll break up
And just because it's so much fun to make up
Children can't wait to grow up but then
They're datin' and they're acting like kids again
You'd think they belonged in a baby carriage
They're doing things that lead to marriage
But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
Someday you'll be datin' too
