|
And now Ladies and Gentlemen |
|
The keeper of the keys |
|
The countess of the clink |
|
The mistress of murderer's row |
|
Matron 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 lotta 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 |
|
Fezzle my Ragu |
|
Spice it up for Mama |
|
She'll get hot for you |
|
When the pass that basket |
|
Folks contribute to |
|
You put in for Mama |
|
She'll put out for you |
|
The folks that stop 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 srtoke 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 |
|
Aww Yeah |
