Intro: (D) (D) (D) (D)

(D) Ever since (G) Monday
(A) I've seen (A7) it (D) comin'
When I say (G) what's wrong
(A) She just (A7) says (D) nothin'
(G) Well, I ain't about to let it go
(A) 'Cause I've loved her long en(A7)ough to know.

  When (D) mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
  So daddy's gonna make mama (A) happy tonight
  I've got a limo waitin' and dinner reservations
  A corner table with some (D) candlelight.
  We're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honey
  I wanna see the sparkle (G) back in her eyes
  When (D) mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
  So (A) daddy's gonna make mama happy ton(D)ight.

I see in those green eyes
Her red-head temper
And she can make July
As cold as December
Well, I love her every way she is
But brother I've discovered at times like this.

(REPEAT CHORUS #1)

(SOLO)

(CHORUS #2)

  When Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
  So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
  I told the babysitter, fix a macaroni dinner
  And try to get the kids in bed by nine.
  We're gonna spend some money, I'm gonna call her honey
  I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
  When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
  So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight.

  When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
  So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight.
