Back in the country a few years ago there was sure a lot about the girls I don't know

I wondered how to steal a kiss but I was so shy

I wondered a million times every time I'd try

What am I gonna do now well I don't know how

Girls started asking whatcha gonna do now

Well I was a gettin' sweet on the neighbor's daughter Lou

She was cute and sassy and kinda bold too

She told me she'd show me what it's all about

She was gonna teach me how to knock 'em out

Well holding hands and making eyes I learned in lesson one

Lou was my teacher and school sure was fun

How to put my arms around came in lesson two

She said now you're ready to learn somethin' new

Whatcha gonna do now you gotta show me how

Oh don't keep me waiting whatcha gonna do now

I took her to the cake walk at the country school

She was hangin' on to me and she wouldn't turn me loose

Girls started making eyes I guess it made Lou sore

She took me to the moonlight said I gotta teach you more

Kisses by the dozens hugs to beat the ban

I yelled and I pleaded huh just one little man

Lou was sure excited and me I tell you more

And then I saw a gleam that I ain't never saw before

Whatcha gonna do now oh how you do know how whatcha gonna do now
