When You're Good To Mama歌词

[00:23.100]Ask any of the chickies in my pen
[00:28.300]They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen
[00:33.500]I love 'em all and all of them love me
[00:36.210]Because the system works
[00:43.240]The system called reciprocity...
[00:48.840]
[00:52.600]Got a little motto
[00:56.480]Always sees me through
[00:58.640]When you're good to Mama
[01:01.870]Mama's good to you.
[01:04.970]
[01:10.339]There's a lot of favors
[01:13.100]I'm prepared to do
[01:15.890]You do one for Mama
[01:17.699]She'll do one for you.
[01:21.339]
[01:25.600]They say that life is tit for tat
[01:27.110]And that's the way I live
[01:30.699]So, I deserve a lot of tat
[01:32.710]For what I've got to give
[01:35.479]Don't you know that this hand
[01:38.390]Washes that one too
[01:41.279]When you're good to Mama
[01:47.580]Mama's good to you!
[01:50.589]
[01:56.860]If you want my gravy
[02:01.900]Pepper my ragout
[02:04.749]Spice it up for Mama
[02:06.200]She'll get hot for you
[02:10.310]
[02:13.590]When they pass that basket
[02:16.550]Folk contribute to
[02:20.200]You put in for Mama
[02:21.620]She'll put out for you
[02:26.478]
[02:29.210]The folks atop the ladder
[02:32.180]Are the ones the world adores
[02:34.550]So boost me up my ladder, Kid
[02:37.600]And I'll boost you up yours
[02:38.240]
[02:38.860]Let's all stroke together
[02:42.728]Like the Princeton crew
[02:45.550]When you're strokin' Mama
[02:48.170]Mama's strokin' you
[02:48.880]
[02:51.890]So what's the one conclusion
[02:53.670]I can bring this number to?
[02:59.530]When you're good to Mama
[03:07.560]Mama's good to you!
