| [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 contribut to |
| [02:20.200] |
You out 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! |
