Standin' on my front porch

Grabbed her and I kissed her

Boy

(I)

Was surprised when I saw her little sister

Lights out, lights out

I'm glad the lights was out

Sister knows

(What)

It's all about

What to do when the lights go out

Mother looked at me

She was peepin' through the window

Way she looked at me

You'd have thought I was her sister

Lights out, lights out

I'm glad the lights was out

Sister knows

(What)

It's all about

What to do when the lights go out

Lovin' on the front porch

Took mama's swing

I can almost hear

Those weddin' bells ring

Lights out, lights out

I'm glad the lights was out

Sister knows

(What)

It's all about

What to do when the lights go out

Now we're married

And we got a little house

Had to marry little sister

'Cause the lights went out

Lights out, lights out

I'm glad the lights was out

Sister knows

(What)

It's all about

What to do when the lights go out

Now we're married

And we got a little house

Had to marry little sister

'Cause the lights went out

Lights out, lights out

I'm glad the lights was out

Sister knows

(What)

It's all about

What to do when the lights go out
