Is Zat You, Myrtle

[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)

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

[Chorus]
"Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Yes Papa"
"Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Oh, 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)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
One night we was sittin' in the old porch swing
I tell you it was the squeakin'est thing
Every time I tried to move in close
I could hear them big feet hit the floor

[Chorus]
"Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Did hear Papa?"
"Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Oh, 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)

[Verse 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 of the street
Believe to my soul he heard the patter of our feet

[Chorus]
"Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Yes Papa"
"Is zat you, Myrtle?" "Oh, 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)

Is zat you, Myrtle? Is zat you, Myrtle?
I guess you better send that scalawag home
(I guess you better send that scalawag home)
