He asks her for permission
To take the car, light his cigar
Play his guitar, burn down the barnHe asks her for permission
To tie his shoes to take a snooze
To read the news, to sing the bluesHe's such a good boy
A real mamas boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boyHe's such a good boy
A real mamas boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boyHe asks her for permission
To get a tan, to play his hand
To blow a grand, to be a manHe asks her for permission
To say goodnight, to see snow white
To watch the fight 'cause she's always rightHe's such a good boy
A real mamas boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boyShe points her finger and waves her hand
And acts just like a queen bee but he's foolin' her
'Cause he doesn't ask her for permission
When he comes to see meHe's such a good boy
A real mamas boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boy
