Ma, she's making eyes at me Ma, she's oh so good to me Ma, she's almost breaking my heart I'm beside her Please let her conscience guide her Ma, she wants to marry me Be my honeybee Every moment she gets bolder Now she's leaning on my shoulder Ma, she's kissing me Ma, she don't look good to me Ma, her waist is fifty-three Ma, she's almost ruined my car When we go out All the tires start to blow out Ma, she wants to marry me But this could never be Suppose a baby should come later It's gotta look like an alligator Ma, please rescue me Ma, I found out she's got dough Ma, she owns the B&O Ma, she just bought eight city blocks In New York City You know all at once this chick looks pretty Ma, if I will say I do She will promise to Make my future very pleasant Fort Knox will be my wedding present Buy me the seven seas to swim in Replace the fish with gorgeous women Ma, this chick's for me Ma, this chick's for me Billy Eckstine, Billy Eckstine, Billy Eckstine
