Lyrics
- Oh me, oh my
What a life I lead now
Nothing to do but love
That’s all I’m thinking of
Ding dong, sweet song
Glad I took that little vow
Married? yes! I’ll confess
It’s a “wow” and how, ’cause
Chorus
Mamma loves papa, papa loves mamma
Everything’s dandy, sweet as can be
Nothing to hurry, nothing to worry me
Ooh, so contented
There’s a good reason, mighty good reason
Mamma likes squeezin’, Papa does too
Nothin’ can break us
Nothin’ can make us blue
We’ve got a bungalow and
Oh, what a time we have
Such wonderful bliss
Spooning, crooning, sweet honeymooning,
And the secret is this
People like us, we never do fuss
We’ve always got something better to do, ’cause
Mamma loves papa, papa loves mamma too
- Sunday, Monday, every day we make love
That’s all we do, what’s more
That’s all we’re looking for
Happy, happy, that’s the word that made us one
Rain or shine, all the time
Gee! but we have fun, ‘Cause
Chorus
Mamma loves papa, papa loves mamma
Everything’s dandy, sweet as can be
Nothing to hurry, nothing to worry me
Ooh, so contented
There’s a good reason, mighty good reason
Mamma likes squeezin’, Papa does too
Nothin’ can break us
Nothin’ can make us blue
I’m here to say, that every day
Is a gay one filled with wonderful bliss
Here’s good news, I’m through with the blues
It’s true the secret is this
Mamma says “yes” and Papa says “yes”
And people who “yes” are happy I guess, ’cause
Mamma loves papa, papa loves mamma too
