When You’re Good To Mama testo
{announcer}
And now ladies and gentlemen,
the Keeper of the keys,
the Countess of the clink,
the mistress of Murderers Row,
Matron Mama Morton!
{Mama}
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They’ll tell you I’m the biggest Mother. . . .Hen
I love them all and all of them love me –
Because the system works;
the system called reciprocity!
Got a little motto
Always sees me through –
When you’re good to Mama
Mama’s good to you!
There’s a lot of favors
I’m prepared to do –
You do one for Mama
She’ll do one for you!
They say that life is tit for tat
And that’s the way I live –
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I’ve got to give!
Don’t you know that this
hand washes that one too –
When you’re good to Mama
Mama’s good to you!
If you want my gravy
Pepper my ragu –
Spice it up for Mama
She’ll get hot for you!
When they pass that basket
Folks conribute to –
You put in for Mama
She’ll put out for you!
The folks a top the ladder
are the ones the world adores –
So boost me up my ladder kid
and I’ll boost you up yours!
Let’s all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew –
When you’re strokin’ Mama
Mama’s strokin’ you!
So what’s the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you’re good to Mama
Mama’s good to you!!
