Thank You Mama, Thank You Papa Lyrics by The Dixie Cups

The Very Best of the Dixie Cups: Chapel of Love

1964

Well I thank you mama and I thank you papa
'Cause I was 'bout to make a big mistake
At the first of the month
We would have cut the cake
And I'm glad you warned me
Before it was too late
We had a date and he stood me up
So I went to the movies all by myself
But I was hurt when I saw him there
He was there with someone else
How did you know when he said he loved me so
That he was lying, yeah
Was it plain mother's wit or papa thought of it
That one day I would be crying
So I thank you mama and I thank you papa
'Cause I was 'bout to make a big mistake
At the first of the month
We would have cut the cake
And I'm glad you warned me
Before it was too late
How did you know when he said he loved me so
That he was lying, yeah
Was it plain mother's wit or papa thought of it
That one day I would be crying
So I thank you mama and I thank you papa
'Cause I was 'bout to make a big mistake
At the first of the month
We would have cut the cake
And I'm glad you warned me
Before it was too late
Before it was too late
Before it was too late...
