The Dixie Cups — Thank You Mama Thank You Papa

Well I thank you mama and I thank you papa 'Cause I was 'bout to make a big mistake At the first of the month We would have cut the cake And I'm glad you warned me Before it was too late We had a date and he stood me up So I went to the movies all by myself But I was hurt when I saw him there He was there with someone else How did you know when he said he loved me so That he was lying, yeah Was it plain mother's wit or papa thought of it That one day I would be crying So I thank you mama and I thank you papa 'Cause I was 'bout to make a big mistake At the first of the month We would have cut the cake And I'm glad you warned me Before it was too late How did you know when he said he loved me so That he was lying, yeah Was it plain mother's wit or papa thought of it That one day I would be crying So I thank you mama and I thank you papa 'Cause I was 'bout to make a big mistake At the first of the month We would have cut the cake And I'm glad you warned me Before it was too late Before it was too late Before it was too late...
