| Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight |
| Daddy don't ask her when she's coming in |
| I know how much it hurts to see her go |
| Trying to run before she can walk - that's right |
| When she's home don't ask her where she's been |
| She has a mind of her own ya-know |
| A | |
| She's growing up |
| She's going out |
| She's all grown up |
| E | |
| She has a young man wai | ting |
| She has a young man waiting |
| She has a young man waiting |
| A | |
| She's growing up |
| She's going out |
| She's all grown up |

| She has a young man wa | iting |
| Can't keep her young man waiting |
| She has a young man waiting |
| A | E | |
| Wide-e | yes |
| She'll be OK |
| She was wide eyed |
| A | E | |
| She'll be st | reet-w | ise |
| Let her have her day |
| Now she's street wise |
| A | E | |
| To the | li | es |
| It's a long way |
| To the lies |
| B | |
| And the j | ive-talk |
| It's a long walk |
| And the jive-talk |
| A | B | |
| But she' | ll find true love |
| But she'll find true love |
| But she'll find true love |
| E | |
| And tenderness on the bl | ock |
| And tenderness on the block |
| And tenderness on the block |
| end play the last two lines then repeat rhythm and oh ho y- hey now |
