I seem to be the victim of a cruel jest,It dogs my footsteps with the girl I love the best.She's just the sweetest thing that I have ever known,But still we never get the chance to be alone.
My car will meet her--And her mother comes too!It's a two-seater--Still her mother comes too!At Ciro's when I am free, at dinner, supper or tea,She loves to shimmy with me--And her mother does too!We buy her trousseau--And her mother comes too!Asked not to do so--Still her mother comes too!She simply can't take a snub, I go and sulk at the club,Then have a bath and a rub--And her brother comes too!
There may be times when couples need a chaperone,But mothers ought to learn to leave a chap alone.I wish they'd have a heart and use their common senseFor three's a crowd, and more, it's treble the expense.
We lunch at Maxim's--And her mother comes too!How large a snack seems--When her mother comes too!And when they're visiting me, we finish afternoon tea,She loves to sit on my knee--And her mother does too!To golf we started--And her mother came too!Three bags I carted--When her mother came too!She fainted just off the tee, my darling whisper'd to me'Jack, dear, at last we are free!'--But her mother came to!
