Datin' is a game that grown-ups 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
  Grown-ups are the biggest kids I've found
  You'd think they belong in a baby carriage
  They're doing things that lead to marriage
  But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
  'Cause some day you'll be datin' too
    Datin' makes a guy comb his hair just right
  His girl can mess it up when they kiss good-night
  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 belong in a baby carriage
  They're doing things that lead to marriage
  But don't you laugh at what they do, oh no
  Some day you'll be datin' too
