Back in the country, a few years ago
There was sure a lot about the girls I didn't know
I wondered how to steal a kiss but I was so shy
I wondered a million times every time I'd try

What am I gonna do now? Well, I don't know how
And the girls started asking, "Whatcha gonna do now?"
Now I was gettin' sweet on the neighbor's daughter Lou
She was cute and sassy and kinda bold too
She told me she'd show me what it's all about
She was gonna teach me how to knock 'em out

Holding hands, making eyes, I learned in lesson one
Lou was my teacher, school sure was fun
How to put my arm around came in lesson two
She said now you're ready to learn somethin' new
Oh, whatcha gonna do now? Gonna show me how?
Oh, don't keep me waitin', whatcha gonna do now?

I took her to the cake walk at the country school
She was hangin' on to me, she wouldn't turn me loose
Girls started making eyes, I guess it made Lou sore
She took me to the moonlight, said, "I gotta teach you more"
Whatcha gonna do now? You gonna show me how?
Oh, don't keep me waitin', whatcha gonna do now?

Kisses by the dozen, hugs to beat the band
I yelled and I pleaded, now I'm just one little man
Lou was sure excited, need I tell you more
And then I saw a gleam that I never saw before
Whatcha gonna do now? Ooh, wow, you do know how
Whatcha gonna do now?
