Verse 1:

F           Fdim
 Daddy dear  listen here
Gm7                   C7
 Your Mamma's feeling  blue
I don't see much of you
                F  C7
That will never  do

F
 Once a week
     Fdim
Your  Mamma's cheek
Gm7             C7
 Gets a kiss or  two
    C       Bb               A7
Now I'm not showing  you the door
    D7           G7       C   C+
I'm  just laying down the  law

Refrain:

       F           C+    F      D7
You've  gotta  see Mamma  every  night
       G7         C7        F    C+
Or you  can't see  Mamma at  all
               F     C+    F          D7
You've  gotta   kiss Mamma  treat her  right
       G7                      C7
Or she  won't be home when you  call

    F                     F7
Now  I don't care for the  kind of a man
    Bb                  Fdim
Who  loves his Mamma on installment plan
        F          C+    F      D7
You've   gotta see Mamma  every  night
       G7         C7        F   C7
Or you  can't see  Mamma at  all

Patter:

             F       Fdim    Gm7   C7
For instance  Monday night I sat a lone
F        Fdim      Gm7    C7
 Tuesday night you didn't  phone
F          F7        Bb      Fdim
 Wednesday night you  didn't  call
F                   G7       C7
 Thursday night the same old  stall
F       Fdim     Gm7       C7
 Friday night youdodged my  path
F         Fdim  Gm7           C7
 Saturday night you took your  bath
F       F7         Bb         Fdim
 Sunday night  you  called on me
        F                          C7
But you brought your wife and your family

Refrain continued:

        F           C+     F      D7
You've   gotta  see  Mamma  every  night
       G7         C7        F    C+
Or you  can't see  Mamma at  all
              F     C+     F          D7
You've gotta   kiss  Mamma  treat her  right
       G7                      C7
Or she  won't be home when you  call

    F                     F7
Now  I don't care for the  kind of a shiek
    Bb                       Fdim
Who  does  his shieking once a week
      F          C+     F      D7
You've gotta see  Mamma  every  night
       G7        C7        F
Or you can't see  Mamma at  all

Verse 2:

F           Fdim
 Daddy dear  when you're near
Gm7           C7
 Everything's  ok
But when you stay away
                  F   C+
I mope around all  day

F            Fdim
 I must know	 Where you go
Gm7                 C7
 And what makes you  gay
C       Bb               A7
I don't want to share my love
     D7        G7     C    C+
With  another  turtle  dove

Refrain Repeat:


F
