Pettin' in the Park

by Dick Powell

on In Hollywood (1933-1935) (1995), Jazz Goes to the Movies (1994)

Every night, a body should relax
After all the wear and tear
Get that oxygen your body lacks
Get it in the open air

Go and find a little rendezvous
Underneath the starry skies
Take someone who's sweet along with you
For a little exercise

Pettin' in the park, (bad boy)
Pettin' in the dark; (bad girl)
First you pet a little, let up a little
Then you get a little kiss

Pettin' on the sly, (oh my!)
Act a little shy: (Aw, why!)
Struggle just a little,
Then hug a little,
And cuddle up and whisper this

Come on, I've been waiting long
Why don't we get started?
Come on, maybe this is wrong
But, gee, what of it? We just love it

Pettin' in the park (bad boy)
Pettin' in the dark (bad girl)
What'cha doin' honey?
Oh, I feel so funny
Pettin' in the park with you

Pettin' in the park (bad boy)
Pettin' in the dark (bad girl)
What'cha doin' honey?
Oh, I feel so funny
Pettin' in the park with you

Pettin' in the park (bad boy)
Pettin' in the dark (bad girl)
First you pet a little, let up a little
And they you get a little kiss

Pettin' on the sly, (oh my)
Act a little shy: (oh, why)
Struggle just a little then hug a little
And cuddle up and whisper this

Come on, I've been waiting long
Why don't we get started?
Come on, maybe this is wrong
But, gee, what of it? We just love it

Pettin' in the park (bad boy)
Pettin' in the dark (bad girl)
What'cha doin' honey? I feel so funny
I'm pettin' in the park with you
