Mama Goes Where Papa Goes

Mama Goes Where Papa Goes - Kay Starr

Mama goes where papa goes

Or papa don't go out tonight

Mama goes 'cause mama knows

You can't be trusted out o' her sight

Mama's got a feelin' that she must be near

Just to help her keep papa's conscience clear

So mama goes where papa goes

Or papa don't go out tonight

Here's your bedroom slippers and your favourite pipe

Here's your bathrobe with the yellow stripe

Here's your armchair the book that you read

And here's your loving mama she's got everyrthing you need

I go with lots o' fellas and you ain't the worst

But I think in terms of safety first

Any clever gal will admit I'm right

If you wanna keep your man keep him right in sight

That's why mama goes where papa goes

Or papa don't go out tonight

Mama goes where papa goes

Or papa don't go out tonight

Mama goes 'cause mama knows

You can't be trusted out o' her sight

Teacher used to tell me when I went to school

Any girl who trusts a man's a doggone fool

Go mama goes where papa goes

Or papa don't go out tonight

Daddy you can't go out tonight
