MY MAMMA TOLD ME SO. Copyright, 1894, by Frank Hauling. Words and Music by Safford Waters. 
I'm a little child, you see, innocent as I can be, But there are no flies on me -my mamma told me so; Mamma says I'm just too sweet, from my head down to my feet, Such a child you seldom meet-my mamma told me so. 
Chorus. I Mamma always gets things straight, She is strictly up to date; Ev'rything is true I state, 'Cause mamma told me so. 
This big world is all a bluff, fill'd with misery and woe, Which, I think, is rather tough--my mamma told me so. If we're good or if we're bad, diff'rent places we will go, Where quite dill rent times are had-my mamma told me so.-Chorus. 
Sometimes I don't say a word, but I make an awful show; Children should be seen, not heard -my mamma told me so. This makes her act like a crank, and she fills my soul with woe; You bet she knows how to spank-and no one told me so.-Chorus,
