Does anyone know (Ray? Ray? zu hilfe!) where this comes from, as Google doesn't - it's heard it around, but that's all:

Momma don't want no trumpet-playin' here
Momma don't want no trumpet-playin' here
Poppa don't care what momma don't 'low so we got trumpet-players anyhow
Momma don't want no trumpet-playin' here

You can make up your own variations as to other maternal strictures, and generate an infinity of verses.
I can sing the tune, too.
