| | Chicago; "When You're Good To Mama" (sung by Mama Morton)
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 raggoo-
Spice it up for Mama-
she'll get hot for you
The folks atop 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 stroking Mama,
Mama's stroking you!
So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you're good to Mama,
Mama's good to you! |
