You gotta see your mamma every night
Or you can't see your mamma at all!
You've got to kiss your mamma, treat her right
Or I won't be home when you call!
Now I don't like that kind o' man
That makes love on the installment plan!
You gotta see your mamma every night
Or you won't see your mamma at all!
Monday night, you didn't show
Tuesday night, you claimed no dough
Wednesday night, that same old stall
Thursday night, you didn't call
Friday night, you dogged my path
Saturday night, you took your bath
Sunday night, you had a date
And from the looks of everything it's clear that I don't rate!
Hey you, you better show tonight
Or you won't see your mamma at all!
You better kiss me, you better hold me right
Or I won't be home when you call!
Now I don't like that kind o' man
That operates on the installment plan
You better see me, you better make things right
Or you won't see your mamma at all!
Cut out all this stallin'
Cut in some callin'
Or you won't see your mamma at all!
