Mama Goes Where Papa Goes

How come Henry dear, said Mrs. Henry Brown

You're always disappear 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!

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!
