Darling dear,
Listen here,
Mama's feeling blue,
I don't see much of you,
And that'll never do,
Once a week,
Mama's cheek,
Gets a kiss or two,
I ain't showin' you the door,
But I'm layin' down the law.
You Gotta See Mama Ev'ry Night Or You Can't See Mama At All,
You gotta kiss Mama, treat her right or she won't be home when you call,
If you wan't my company, you can't fifty-fifty me,
You Gotta See Mama Ev'ry Night Or You Can't See Mama At All.
You Gotta See Mama Ev'ry Night Or You Can't See Mama At All,
You gotta kiss Mama, treat her right or she won't be home when you call,
I don't care for the kind of man,
Who works on the installment plan,
You Gotta See Mama Ev'ry Night Or You Can't See Mama At All.
Monday night I sat alone,
Tuesday night you didn't phone
Wednesday night you didn't call,
And on Thursday night the same old stall.
Friday night you took your bath,
Saturday night you dodged my path
Sunday night you had a date,
And it looks quite clear that I don't rate.
You Gotta See Mama Ev'ry Night Or You Can't See Mama At All
You gotta kiss Mama, treat her right or she won't be home when you call,
I don't care for the kind of Sheik,
Who does his sheikin' once a week,
You Gotta See Mama Ev'ry Night Or You Can't See Mama At All.
