(Carly Simon/Robbie Shakespeare/Mike Mainieri) He asks her for permission To take the car Light his cigar Play his guitar Burn down the barn He asks her for permission To tie his shoes To take a snooze To read the news To sing the blues Chorus: He's such a good boy A real mama's boy She treats him like a toy He's such a good boy (Repeat) He asks her for permission To get a tan To play his hand To blow a grand To be a man He asks her for permission To say goodnight To see Snow White To watch the fight 'Cause she's always right Chorus She points her finger And waves her hand And acts just like a Queen bee But he's foolin?her 'Cause he doesn't ask Her for permission When he comes to see me Chorus
