Faye's been going out with such a nice young man
Ichabod Scroggins is his name
He calls her regularly twice a week
And last Sunday when he came
He said, "My dearie, I've a great surprise
Something that will please you right away"
Now her folks are careful of her reputation
So she had to turn to him and say
Oh, you'll have to show it to mother
Before you can show it to me
Every present that I receive
Old mother has got to see (What? Yes)
It makes no difference what it is
Or what that thing may be
You'll have to show it to dear mama
Before you can show it to me
He took her at her word and went and showed it to mama
Mother seemed to love it right away
She fell in love with Ichabod and they became engaged (Huh)
They were married here just the other day
Now that is a lesson that she had to learn
Every time she thinks she hears a sigh
She takes all the presents that they offer her now
And never makes the foolish old reply (Everybody)
You'll have to show it to mother
Before you can show it to me
Every present that I receive
My mother has got to see (Yes)
It makes no difference what it is
Or what that little old thing may be
You'll have to show it to dear mama
Before you can show it to me (What a big one)
