Don't Tell Mama(Live)

Mama thinks I'm living in a convent

A secluded little convent

In the southern part of France

Mama doesn't even have an inkling

That I'm working in a nightclub

In a pair of lacy pants

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
