Kay Starr - Mama Goes Where Papa Goes (Or Papa Won’t Go Out Tonight) Lyrics

Lyrics Mama Goes Where Papa Goes (Or Papa Won’t Go Out Tonight) - 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 o' her sight
Mama's got a feelin' that she must be near
Just to help her keep her 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 favorite pipe
Your yellow bathrobe with the favorite stripe
Here's your armchair, the book that you read
And here's your lovin' mama, I've got everything you need
Gone 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!
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 o' 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!
