A secluded little convent

In the southern part of France.

Mama

Don't tell Mama...

Whatever you do.

Bm     E7
If you had a secret,
Bm      E7
You bet I could keep it.
B7 Dbm7   Ebdim B       E
I  would  never tell on you.

    E7             A7
I'm breaking every promise
       D
That I gave her,
   Bm7              Dbdim
So won't you kindly do a girl
  B7        E7
A great big favor?

    A          Cdim    B7
And please, my sweet patater,
A         Dbdim    Gb7
Keep this from the Mater,
B7        Dbm7     Ebdim B          Gbm
Though my dance is not a gainst the law.

        D             Ebdim
You can tell my Papa, that's all right,
       Dbm              Gb7
'Cause he comes in here every night,

But don't tell Mama what you saw!

With a couple of my school chums
E7
And a lady chaperone
Am
Mama
E7                   Am

If you had a secret,
Bm      E7
You bet I could keep it.
B7 Dbm7   Ebdim B       E
I  would  never tell on you.

You wouldn't want to get me
     D
In a pickle,
    Bm7             Dbdim
And have her go and cut me off
    B7    E7
Without a nickle.

   A           Cdim  B7
So let's trust one another,
A         Dbdim   Gb7
Keep this from my mother,
B7         Dbm7     Ebdim   B        Gbm
Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow.

        D              Ebdim
You can tell my Uncle, here and now
       Dbm           Gb7
'Cause he's my agent anyhow,
    Bm         E7            Am    E7 Am
But don't tell Mama what you know.

        D                Ebdim
You can tell my Grandma, suits me fine,
     Dbm            Gb7
Just yesterday, she joined the line

But don't tell Mama what you know.

        D                Ebdim
You can tell my brother, that ain't grim
             Dbm                 Gb7
'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.
