Am  E7
Mama

                       Am      E7
Thinks I'm living in a convent,

                  Dm     E7
A secluded little convent

                        Am     Dm E7
In the southern part of France.

Am  E7
Mama

                     Am     E7
Doesn't even have an inkling

                      Dm       E7
That I'm working in a Nightclub

                  Am
In a pair of Lacy pants.
[Pre-Chorus]

So please, sir.

If you run into my Mama,

                     Dm
Don't reveal my indiscretion,

Bm7b5                  E7
 Give a working girl a chance.

Hush up,

E7
Don't tell Mama,

Am
Shush up,

E7
Don't tell Mama...

A               F#dim
Don't tell Mama,

             E7
Whatever you do.

Bm     E7
If you had a secret,

Bm      E7
You bet I could keep it.

B7 C#m7b5 D#dim B       E
I  would  never tell on you.

    E7             A7
I'm breaking every promise

       D
That I gave her,

   Bm7b5            C#dim
So won't you kindly do a girl

  B7        E7
A great big favor?

    A          Cdim    B7
And please, my sweet patater,

A         C#dim    F#7
Keep this from the Mater,

B7        C#m7b5   D#dim B          F#m
Though my dance is not a gainst the law.

        D             D#dim
You can tell my Papa, that's all right,

       C#m/E            F#7
'Cause he comes in here every night,

    Bm         E7            Am  E7 Am E7
But don't tell Mama what you saw!
[Verse 2]
Am
Mama

E7                      Am
Thinks I'm on a tour of Europe,

E7                         Dm
With a couple of my school chums

E7
And a lady chaperone

Am
Mama

E7                   Am
Doesn't even have an inkling

E7                      Dm
That I left them all in Antwerp

E7                    Am
And I'm touring on my own.
[Pre-Chorus]

So please, Sir

G7                 Cmaj7 Am
If you run into my Mama

                     Bm7b5
Don't reveal my indiscretion.

                        E7
Just leave well enough alone.
[Chorus]

Hush up,

E7
Don't tell Mama.

Shush up,

Don't tell Mama;

A              F#dim
Don't tell Mama

Whatever you do.

Bm     E7
If you had a secret,

Bm      E7
You bet I could keep it.

B7 C#m7b5 D#dim B       E
I  would  never tell on you.

    E7               A7
You wouldn't want to get me

     D
In a pickle,

    Bm7b5           C#dim
And have her go and cut me off

    B7    E7
Without a nickle.

   A           Cdim  B7
So let's trust one another,

A         C#dim   F#7
Keep this from my mother,

B7         C#m7b5   D#dim   B        F#m
Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow.

        D              D#dim
You can tell my Uncle, here and now

       C#m/E         F#7
'Cause he's my agent anyhow,

    Bm         E7            Am    E7 Am
But don't tell Mama what you know.

        D                D#dim
You can tell my Grandma, suits me fine,

     C#m/E          F#7
Just yesterday, she joined the line

    Bm         E7            Am    E7 Am
But don't tell Mama what you know.

        D                D#dim
You can tell my brother, that ain't grim

             C#m/E               F#7
'Cause if he squeals on me, I'll squeal on him,

    Bm         E7
But don't tell Mama, bitte

Bm         E7
Don't tell Mama, please, Sir.

Bm         E7             Am
Don't tell Mama, what you know.
