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
