The Chipmunks, David Seville - Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Chipmunks lyrics

Cowboys ain't easy to love
And they're harder to hold
They'd rather give you a song
Than diamonds or gold
Shiny belt buckles and old faded levis
And each night begins a new day

If you don't understand him
And he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away

Mammas, don't let your babies grow
Up to be cowboys

Chipmunks

Alvin

Don't let 'em pick guitars and
Drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas don't let your babies grow
Up to be cowboys

Chipmunks

Alvin

The Chipmunks: No, they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Chipmunks like shady oak trees
And roasted acorns (hrrr) not doing homework
And staying up late every night

Alvin

Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do
Sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong he's just different
But his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's right

Mammas, don't let your babies grow
Up to be cowboys

Chipmunks

Quit it!

Don't let 'em pick guitars and
Drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be

Chipmunks

Theodore

The Chipmunks: No, they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Mammas, don't let your babies grow
Up to be chipmunks

Fellas

The Chipmunks:
Don't let 'em pick guitars and
Drive them old trucks
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mammas don't let your babies grow
Up to be chipmunks

It's not chipmunks it's cowboys!

No, they'll never stay home
And they're always alone
Even with someone they love
