Mama Goes Where Papa Goes

Or Papa don't go out tonight

Mama goes 'cause Mama knows

He can't be trusted out of her sight

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

Just to help her Papa keep his conscience clear

So Mama Goes Where Papa Goes

Or Papa don't go out tonight!

No, Papa don't go out tonight!



Here's your bedroom slippers and your fav'rite pipe

Here's your yellow bathrobe with the purple stripe

Here's your armchair and the paper that you read

And here's the lovin' mama

Who's got everything you need

I've had plenty, Daddy, and you ain't the worst

But your Mama here believes in safety first

And any married woman will admit I'm right

A husband in the home is worth a dozen out of sight!



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

Just to help her Papa keep his conscience clear

So, Mama Goes Where Papa Goes

Or Papa don't go out tonight,

No, Papa don't go out tonight!
