Look what
followed me home tonight
Mama, can't I keep it?
It wanted just to tag along
And I sure couldn't believe it
It wants to learn just how to spoon
And I'd sure like to teach it
Look what followed me home tonight
Mama, can't I keep it?
Today on my first trip to town
I didn't know just what I'd found
It set my heart on the prowl
Someone said, that's a gal
That wants to stay right here with me
And I just can't believe it
Look what followed me home tonight
Mama, can't I keep it?
Look what followed me home tonight
Mama, can't I keep it?
I'll always take good care of it
And never once mistreat it
It wants to walk the wedding aisle
And I'd sure like to lead it
Look what followed me home tonight
Mama, can't I keep it?
You never let me keep a pet
A dog or cat wouldn't make you fret
But this is something different yet
Please, Mama, my heart is set
It wants to learn just how to love,
And I'd sure like to teach it.
Look what followed me home tonight,
Mama, can't I keep it?
Please, Mama, can't I keep it?
