Darling dear, listen here Your mama's feelin' blue I don't see much o' you And that'll never do Once a week, your mama's cheek Get's a kiss or two Now I'm not showin' you the door But I'm layin' down the law You gotta see your mama every night Or you can't see your mama at all You've got to kiss your mama, treat her right Or she won't be home when you call Now I don't care for the kind o' a man That works on the installment plan You gotta see your mama every night Or you won't see your mama at all For instance Monday night, I sat alone Tuesday night, you didn't phone Wednesday night, you didn't call Thursday night, the same old stall Friday night, you dodged my path Saturday night, you took your bat Sunday night, you called on me But you blew off you mother, your family You gotta see your mama every night Or you can't see your mama at all You've got to kiss your mama, treat her right Or she won't be home when you call Now I don't care for the kind o' a sheek That does his sheekin' once a week You gotta see your mama every night Or you can't see your mama Can't see your mama You can't see your mama at all
