So please sir if you run into my mama Don't reveal my indiscretion
Give a working girl a chance Hush up don't tell mama Shush up don't tell mama Don't tell mama whatever you do
If you have a secret You bet I would keep it I would never tell on you
I'm breaking every promise that I gave her
So won't kindly do a girl a great big favor And please my sweet patater Keep this from the mater Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow
You can tell my Papa that's all right 'Cause he comes in here every night But don't tell mama what you saw
Mama thinks I'm on a tour of Europe With a couple of my school chums And a lady chaperon Mama doesn't even have an inkling
That I left them all in Antwerp And I'm touring on my own
So please sir if you run into my mama Don't reveal my indiscretion
Just leave well enough alone
Hush up don't tell Mama Shush up don't tell Mama Don't tell Mama whatever you do
If you have a secret You bet I would keep it I would never tell on you
You wouldn't want to get me in a pickle
And have her go and cut me up without a nickel So let's trust one another Keep this from my mother Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow You can tell my uncle here and now 'Cause he's my agent anyhow But don't tell mama what you know
You can tell my grandma suits me fine Just yesterday she joined the line But don't tell mama what you know
You can tell my brother that ain't grim 'Cause if he squeals on me I'll squeal on him But don't tell Mama bitte Don't tell Mama please sir Don't tell Mama what you know
