Don't Tell Mama (不要告诉妈妈) - Ute Lemper (邬蒂·兰普)

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

Shush 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' ev'ry 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

'Cause he comes in here ev'ry night

But don't tell mama what you know

Mama

Since I wanted go to Europe

With a couple of my school chumps

And a lady chaperon

Mama

Doesn't even have an inkling

That I left the morning after

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

Hush up don't tell mama

Shush 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

You wouldn't want to get me in a pickle

And have a girl ain't cut me off without a nickel

So let's cross one another

Keep this from my mother

Thou I'm still as pure as mama's soul

You can tell my uncle here and now

'Cause he's my agent anyhow

Don't tell mama what you know

You can tell my grandma suits me fine

Guess s'mday she join the line

But don't tell mama what you know

You can tell my brother that ain't grim

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 mammy mums the word
