Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers
- written by Tommy Chong and Tom Baird
- as recorded by Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers (released April 20, 1968)

- entered the Billboard Top 40 the week of May 18, 1968 and
stayed for 5 weeks, peaking at #29 the week of May 25, 1968.
- originally known as Little Daddy And The Bachelors, lead guitarist
Tommy Chong (who later went on to fame as half of the comedy duo

Fans didn't approve of the name so they soon re-grouped to form
Bobby Taylor & The Vancouvers.
- Bobby Taylor discovered The Jackson Five.

(Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me)
Or accept me as a man?

And what about your Dad?
Did you think of what he'll say?
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way?

Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door

(Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
If she says forget about me)
Do you think you'd understand?

And what about your friends?
Do you care what people say?
Will you accept the burdons
I know will surely come your way?

Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door

(Does your mama know about me?
Does she know just what I am?
Will she turn her back on me?)
Or accept me as a man?

We've got to stand tall
Can't stumble or crawl
We've got to be strong
For love that's so right
Can't be wrong
And every day I see it grow
And I don't want to let it go
I guess that's why I gotta know

(Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?
Does your mama know about me?)
