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

He can't be trusted out on her sight

Mama's got a feeling that she must be near

Just to help her keep papa's conscience clear

That's why mama goes where papa goes

Or papa don't go out tonight

Here's your bedroom slippers and your favourite pipe

Your yellow bathrobe with the favourite stripe

Here's your armchair

The book that you read

And here's your loving mama

I've got everyrthing you need

You go with lots on 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

Teacher used to tell me when I went to school

Any girl who trusts a man's a doggone fool

That's why mama goes where papa goes

Or papa don't go out tonight

And I'm sick on your lies

Your tired alibis

It took me some time but I finally got wise;

So make up your mind

You can't leave me behind

Papa you can't go out tonight
