Shop Around Lyrics & Chords By Johnny Kidd & The Pirates

When I became of age my mother called me to her side,
she said,"Son, you're growing up now pretty soon you'll take a bride.
And then she said, "Just because you've become a young man now,
there's still somethings that you don't understand now;
before you ask some girl for her hand now
keep your freedom for as long as you can now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)
Ah, there's somethings that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
women come and the women gonna go, now
before you tell em that you love em so now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)
A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around."
Oo yeah, A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
