Where’s Mamma?

Comes in flying from the street;
     'Where’s Mamma?’
Friend or stranger thus he’ll greet:
     'Where’s Mamma?’
Doesn’t want to say hello,
Home from school or play he’ll go
Straight to what he wants to know:
     'Where’s Mamma?’
 
Many times a day he’ll shout,
     'Where’s Mamma?’
Seems afraid that she’s gone out;
     'Where’s Mamma?’
Is his first thought at the door–
She’s the one he’s looking for,
And he questions o’er and o’er,
     'Where’s Mamma?’
 
Can’t be happy till he knows:
     'Where’s Mamma?’
So he begs us to disclose
     'Where’s Mamma?’
And it often seems to me,
As I hear his anxious plea,
That no sweeter phrase can be:
     'Where’s Mamma?’
 
Like to hear it day by day;
     'Where’s Mamma?’
Loveliest phrase that lips can say:
     'Where’s Mamma?’
And I pray as time shall flow,
And the long years come and go,
That he’ll always want to know
     'Where’s Mamma?’
