(Con Conrad-Billy Rose) recorded by Peggy Lee in 1956. Available on her "Black Coffee" CD.You've Got to See Mamma Every Night (or You Can't See Mamma at All)
You've got to kiss Mamma, treat her right
Or she won't be home when you call
If you want my company
You can't fifty-fifty me
You've Got to See Mamma Every Night (or You Can't See Mamma at All)Monday night I sat alone
Tuesday night you didn't phone
Wednesday night, you didn't call
Thursday night, the same old stall
You've Got to See Mamma Every Night (or You Can't See Mamma at All)Friday night, you dodged my path
Saturday night, you took your bath
Sunday night, you called on me,
But you brought three girls for company
You've Got to See Mamma Every Night (or You Can't See Mamma at All)You've Got to See Mamma Every Night (or You Can't See Mamma at All)
You've got to kiss Mamma, treat her right
Or she won't be home when you call
I don't want that kind of man
Who works on the installment plan
