| Baby ask your man if he | |
| Would let you come along with me | |
| And watch the morning hit the sea | |
| Or would he like that | |
| If you think he'll take it wrong | |
| Just tell him I won't keep you long | |
| As soon as our good times are gone | |
| I'll bring you right back | |
| But until then could anything be finer | |
| Than rolling toward the ocean in your trusty Morris Minor | |
| Go ask your man | |
| I'm sure he'll understand | |
| While you're on the subject | |
| Would you ask politely if you could | |
| Just bring an open mind to put | |
| Some good times into | |
| Would you ask permission to | |
| Be free just long enough for you | |
| To love me for a day or two | |
| At least begin to | |
| Tell him you'll try not to get your clothes too sandy | |
| Just let him know that I'm from a decent family | |
| Go ask your man | |
| I'm sure he'll understand | |
| Let him know it's not my style | |
| To keep you more than just a while | |
| I'm hung up the way you smile | |
| And love your laughter | |
| Tell him I repect his taste | |
| And I don't want to take his place | |
| A chance to fill the empty space | |
| Is all I'm after | |
| Give him your word that you won't be gone forever | |
| Let's you and I watch the sun come up together | |
| Go ask your man | |
| I'm sure he'll understand | |
| Babe if he should ask of you | |
| Just tell him I won't do to you | |
| A single thing he wouldn't do | |
| Except not own you | |
| Also could you take the time | |
| To ask your man to please define | |
| The words he screams across the line | |
| Each time I phone you | |
| And if he still takes a negative position | |
| Tell him that I'll bring you back in good condition | |
| Go ask your man | |
| I'm sure he'll understand |
