Mother Wouldn't Do That - Burl Ives

作词：Ronnie Self

作曲：Ronnie Self

You cant tell every book by its cover

Every girl that you meet wont treat you

Like your mother

Theyll say this is real

Turn around and call you a heel

And hand you your hat

Mother wouldnt do that

Last night I caught my baby

With another

I said now honey you ain't treating

Me like my mother

Youve been all up and down

This swinging old town

With some other cat

Mother wouldnt do that

Now this thing that we have got

Must work two ways

And if things dont change

Im a leaving some of these days

Well woman your so mean

That you take all of the lean

And leave me the fat

Mother wouldnt do that
