Lyrics You've Got To See Mama Ev'ry Night (Or You Can't See Mama At All) - Liza Minnelli, Vince Giordano, The Nighthawks

You've Got To See Mama Ev'ry Night (Or You Can't See Mama At All)

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
