You've got to see Mamma ev'ry night
Or you can't see Mamma at all
You've got to kiss Mamma, treat her right
Or she won't be home when you call
If you want my company
You can't fifty-fifty me
You've got to see Mamma ev'ry night
Or you can't see Mamma at all
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 your path
Saturday night you took your bath
Sunday night you called on me
But you brought three gals for company
Or you can't see Mamma at all
Because she won't be home when you call
I don't like the kind of sheik
Who does his sheiking once a week
You've got to see Mamma ev'ry night
Or you can't see  you can't see Mamma at all
