Thank you mama, thank you papa

Thank You Mama, Thank You Papa - The Dixie Cups

Written by：Ellie Greenwich/Jeff Barry

Well I thank you mama and I thank you papa

'Cause I was about to make a big mistake

At the first of the month we would have cut the cake

And I'm glad you warned me before it was too late

We had a date and he stood me up

So I went to the movies all by myself

But I was hurt when I saw him there

He was there with someone else

How did you know when he said he loved me so

That he was lying yeah

Was it plain mother's wit or papa thought of it

That one day

I would be crying

So I thank you mama and I thank you papa

'Cause I was about to make a big mistake

At the first of the month we would have cut the cake

And I'm glad you warned me before it was too late

How did you know when he said he loved me so

That he was lying yeah

Was it plain mother's wit or papa thought of it

That one day

I would be crying

So I thank you mama and I thank you papa

'Cause I was about to make a big mistake

At the first of the month we would have cut the cake

And I'm glad you warned me before it was too late

Before it was too late
