Karaoké Don't Tell Mama Cabaret

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

Shut up, don't tell mama

Don't tell mama whatever you do

If you had a secret you bet I would keep it

I would never tell on you

I'm breakin' every promise that I gave her

So won't you kindly do a girl a great big favor?

And please my sweet potato keep this from my mater

Thou my dance is not against the law

You could tell my papa that's alright

'Cos 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 chumps

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

Don't tell mama

Don't tell mama

If you had 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 off without a nickle

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 'cos he's my agent anyhow

But don't tell mama what you know

You can tell my grandma suits me fine

Just yesterday she join the line

But don't tell mama what you know

You can tell my brother that ain't grim

'Cos 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

If you see my mummy

Mum is the word
