TELL ME MAMA
(Gerry Granahan)

Christine Quaite - 1964


Tell me Mama, what to do
If a boy makes eyes at you
Tell me Mama, what to say
When he looks at me that way

Should I let him hold my hand (Oh yeah)
Tell him that I think he's grand
Tell me Mama, tell me Mama
Tell me what to do

Tell me Mama, is it right
If he wants to hold me tight
Tell me Mama, should I sigh
Ev'rytime he passes by

And if I can't resist
Well, should I let him steal a kiss
Tell me Mama, tell me Mama
Tell me what to do

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't know what I should do
'Cause I've been taught by the golden rule
If he want's to be my steady boy
Should I-I-I go and play it cool

Oh-oh-oh, tell me Mama, if at night
Do you know that I need your advice
Tell me Mama, it's okay
If he wants to see me every day

Should I let him know I care (Oh yeah)
Or do you think I should beware
Tell me Mama, tell me Mama
Tell me what to do

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't know what I should do
'Cause I've been taught by the golden rule
If he want's to be my steady boy
Should I-I-I go and play it cool

Oh-oh-oh, tell me Mama, it's okay
If he wants to see me every day
Should I let him know I care
Or do you think I should beware
Tell me Mama (Tell me Mama)
Tell me Mama what to do
