Such A Good Boy

(album: Hello Big Man - 1983)

He asks her for permission
To take the car
Light his cigar
Play his guitar
Burn down the barn

He asks her for permission
To tie his shoes
To take a snooze
To read the news
To sing the blues

[Chorus:]
He's such a good boy
A real mama's boy
She treats him like a toy
He's such a good boy
[Repeat]

He asks her for permission
To get a tan
To play his hand
To blow a grand
To be a man

He asks her for permission
To say goodnight
To see Snow White
To watch the fight
'Cause she's always right

[Chorus]

She points her finger
And waves her hand
And acts just like a Queen bee
But he's fooling her
'Cause he doesn't ask
Her for permission
When he comes to see me

[Chorus]
