Lyrics
I didn't know what to do And I didn't know where to go 'Cause when I looked at you I saw that it was snow on the ground And not me pretending that I was a bee Fresh from Antarctica frozen to ice Mother dear I want some sound advice
'Cause I didn't know what to do And I didn't know where to go But someone looked at me And said politely growing a beard Can be fun, let me show you how it is done I said don't bother I'd rather go see Uncle George and Auntie Marge help me
'Cause I didn't know what to do When you said, you were ready to go away And they'll stay Until such a time permit me to say Oh I love you
People are staring, they don't understand Cousin Mary please give me your hand 'Cause I didn't know what to do And I didn't know where to go
