Couplet
When I Gbecame of age my mama Ccalled me to her side.
She said "ASon you're growing up now pretty Dsoon you'll take a bride."
And then she Gsaid:
Couplet
G7Just because you've C7become a young man now
G7There's still some things that you C7don't understand now.
G7Before you ask some C7girl for her hand now
G7Keep your freedom for as C7long as you can now.
Refrain
A7My mama told me D7You'd better shop Garound.
Oh C7yeah You better G7shop around. D7
Couplet
There's some things that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the wind's gotta blow now
The women come and the women gonna go now.
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
Refrain
My mama told me You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah You'd better shop around.
Pont
C7Try to get yourself a bargain son.
G7Don't be sold on the very first one.
C7Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
A7Try to find one who's gonna D7give you true lovin'.
Couplet
Before you take a girl and say "I do" now
Make sure she's in love with you now.
Refrain
My mama told me You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah you'd better shop around.
(Instrumental)

Before you take a girl and say "I do" now
Make sure she's in love with you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I'd hate to see you feeling sad and blue now.
Refrain
My mama told me You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah don't let the first one get you.
'Cause I don't want to see her with you.
Before you let her hold you tight
Make sure she's all right.
Before you let her take your hand my son
Understand my son be a man my son I know you can my son...
