Maggie Yes Ma

From the sheet music

There's a fam'ly right next door
Wakes us up at three or four
When the daughter comes home with her beau.
First they stand outside and chin;
After that, they tiptoe in
And begin their spooning down below.
Then when all is quiet in the hall,
Down the stairs you hear her mother call:

"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "Come right upstairs!"
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!"  "Those stairs aren't chairs,
Why does it take you so long to say goodnight?
You know I've told you always,
It ain't safe to stand in hallways.
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "Give him his hat."
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "Just leave him flat.
In the morning let him phone yer
Go to bed You'll get pneumonia"
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "Come right upstairs!"

"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "Come right upstairs!"
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "I've said your prayers
I've seen that young man where very sporty clothes
now I know who stole the awning
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "Don't be a goose!"
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "The dog is loose!
Send that young man home, or Towser's
Sure to spoil his Sunday trousers
"Maggie!" "Yes, ma!" "Come right upstairs!"

Since her father made a pile
Maggie's family live in style
In a mansion somewhere around the West
Maggie is now Marguerite;
In her heart she is just as sweet
As she was when she was when not so smartly dressed
Maggie still has sweetheart bear in mind,
But her mother's voice is more refined!

"Daughter!" "Mother!" "Time to retire."
"Daughter!" "Mother!" "Sleep you require.
Percy is talking about the polo game.
Don't disobey your parents;
Tell him you're engaged to Clarence.
"Marg't!" "Mater!" "Bid him adieu"
"Mater!" "What the child?" "I'm cross with you!"
Then with all her million dollars,
Ma forgets herself and hollers
"Maggie!" "Whaddyerwant?" "Come right upstairs!"
