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 foolin' her
'cause he doesn't ask
her for permission
when he comes to see me
[chorus]
