(Sammy Cahn/Nellie Casman/Saul Chaplin/Samuel Steinberg)      A certain maid I know, is so afraid her beau   Will never ask her, will she name the day   He calls on her each night, and when she dims the light   It's ten to one that you would hear her say      Oh Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up   It's time I knew just how I stand with you   My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up   Each time we make up after being through      So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting   And here and there my hair is turning grey   My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear   Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day      Oh Joseph, won't you name the day   Oh Joseph, won't you name the day   Oh Joseph, won't you name the day   Name the day, name the day      Oh Joseph, make your mind up   It's time I knew just how I stand with you   My heart's no clock that I can wind up   Oh Joseph, each time we make up after we were almost through      Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, time is fleeting   And here and there my hair is turning grey   My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear   Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day      My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear   Oh Joseph, why won't you name the day
