Mama Goes Where Papa Goes (Or Papa Don’t Go Out Tonight)

How come Henry dear, said Mrs Henry Brown
You're always disapper when the evening sun goes down
'Cause i don't know but Henry I suspect
You found a friend of the female sex
So from now on
Mama's gonna go along
Just to make sure you keep your power strong

Yeah Mama goes where Papa goes
Or Papa don't go out tonight (No Sir)
Mama goes 'cause Mama knows
He can't be trusted out of her sight
Mama's got a feelin' that she must be near
Just to help her Papa keep his conscience clear
So Mama goes where Papa goes
Or Papa don't go out tonight!

Here's your bedroom slippers and your favorite pipe
Here's your yellow bathrobe with the purple stripe
Here's your armchair and the paper that you read
And here's the lovin' mama
Who's got everything you need

You know who pay for those
Now you can go in step
But listen Papa dear
There is nothing out there you can get in here

Now I've had plenty, Daddy, and you ain't the worst
But your Mama here believes in safety first
And any married woman will admit I'm right
A husband in the home is worth a dozen out of sight!

Oh Mama goes where Papa goes
Or Papa don't go out tonight
I said Mama goes 'cause Mama knows
He can't be trusted out of her sight
A teacher used to tell me
When I went to school
And it tell don't trust the man have dot on foots
So, Mama goes where Papa goes
Oh Papa
I said Papa

Mama goes where Papa goes
Or Papa don't go out tonight
