Verse 1
(E minor) How very (A major) (E minor) (A major) (D major) (E minor) glad (Baug) I am to
find (E minor) you seated, (A major) Mom.
I'm sure (D major) you find my story hard
to (E flatdim) take.
(E minor) Park Avenue (G major) must not hear this repeated, (D major)
Mom.
Her (A major) terraces (E minor) would (D major) shake.
(C sharp major) Of (E minor) course I under (G major) stand how very gravely, (D major)
(C major) (A major) Mom,
This (D major) could affect the
whole East Side's (G major) (Adim) re pose.
(B major) But (E minor) still, in all, you must (G minor) accept it (D major) bravely,
(B minor) Mom.
(B major) Be (E minor) calm. Be strong. (Asus4)
(A major) Oh, here (C major) goes. (D major) (F major)
(D major) I'm (B flat major) in love with a (G minor) West Side (G major) girl
So in (C minor) love with a West Side girl
(F major) I (B flat major) was all prepared to yield
(E flat major) with no rebut (B flat major) tal
When I found out (E flat major) that she came
(C major) here on the (F major) shuttle
If the (B flat major) stork in this (G minor) tragic case
(G major)
Just had dropped (C minor) her on Sutton Place
(Adim) For (B flat major) in every other way
she's (E flat major) made to order (B flat major)
But cruel (E flat major) fate had her (Adim) conceived
Across (D major) the (G major) bor (G minor) der (E flat minor)
(B flat major) She's never (G minor) tasted the
(C major) shamboard (E flat minor) strudel
(B flat major) She doesn't (G minor) own even
(C major) one (Cdim) French poodle
(E flat minor) Heav (B flat major) ens (G minor) above, I'm in (C major) love with
(C minor) a West (F major) side girl. (G minor) (C minor)
(F major) I'm (B flat major) in love (G minor) with a Westside girl.
(G major) So in (E flat major) love with a (C minor) Westside
(F major) girl.
But she's really (B flat major) quite a fancy
debonair one.
And she (E flat major) shops at Saks.
(C major) I mean the Herald Square (F major) one.
I've been (B flat major) tempted to (G minor) end it (G major) all.
Every (C minor) time I must pay (F major) a call.
I can feel that (B flat major) my embarrass (E flat major) ment is (B flat major) showing.
Every time I (E flat major) tell the chauf
(D major) feur where I'm (G minor) go ing.
(E flat minor) (A flat major) Would (B flat major) that Murray (G minor) Hill's not
her (C major) home's a (E flat minor) pity.
(B flat major) Would that it (G minor) were even (C major) Jer (B flat major) sey City.
(E flat minor) How (B flat major) can I (G minor) face the (C major) disgrace of (E flat major) a W (B flat major) .S. girl?
(G minor) Oh, (C minor) Ma, (F major) oh,
it's (B flat major) not that she's not well -bred.
(G major) Oh, (C minor) she's embarrass (B major) ingly well -read.
(F major) She (B flat major) knows Keats and Freud
and (E flat major) Aes chylus and (B flat major) Darwin.
But she's (E flat major) nev er,
never lunchened (Adim) at (D major) the (G major) Har (G minor) win.
(E flat minor) (A flat major) So (B flat major) you can see,
(C major) she will never (E flat minor) do, (B flat major) Mom.
I'll have (G minor) to wait for a (C major) girl like you, (E flat minor) Ma.
Oh, Momsy, Mommy, Mommy,
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Ma.
(B flat major) I might as well say, (G minor) to hell! (C major) Shh!
With my (F major) West Side Girl. (E flat minor)
Read to me some more, Mama.
Huh? (B flat major)
