Mama, listen to my story
Cause I've got something to say
I can't even talk on a telephone
Because chaperone is in my way
Oh, chaperone
Oh, chaperone
I can't sleep or talk or even go for a walk
Without having him around to chaperone
The other night we went to a movie
And we were having so much fun
And when we started to kiss
He said, listen here, sis
I'm sleepy and I wanna go home
Oh, chaperone
Chaperone, you're killing all of my joy
Chaperone, why don't you play with the toys
Cause I can't go on a date
Or even talk to my mate
Without having him around to chaperone
Oh, chaperone
It would be
A miracle
Oh, if mama you would keep him home
And you're sitting here with me
All of the time
Don't you think I wanna be alone
Oh, mama
Mama, won't you please have mercy
Because I'm gonna be a big girl now
So let me go without your chaperone
Because that's the thing that's driving me wild
Chaperone
Chaperone
Chaperone, why don't you come back home
Oh, chaperone
Chaperone, why don't you leave me alone
Cause I can't go on a date
Or even talk to my mate
Without having him around to chaperone
Now it would be a miracle
Oh, if mama you would keep him home
And you're sitting here with me
All of the time
Don't you think I wanna be alone
Oh, mama
The other night we slipped to a park
To a party
And everything was going real swell
And when we started to leave
He pulled on my sleeve
Screaming, don't fail
Oh, I'm gonna tell
Oh, the chaperone
Chaperone, you know you're in love, babe
Oh, the chaperone
Chaperone, why don't you throw it away
Won't you give me a chance
Just to go to one dance
When I'm having him around to chaperone
Chaperone
Chaperone, you're killing all of my joy
Chaperone, why don't you play with your toys
Cause I can't go on a date
Or even talk to my mate
Without having him around to
Oh, the chaperone
Chaperone, you're killing all of my joy
Chaperone, why don't you play with your toys
