Lyrics
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
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
