I was born on an |
|
IslandSt. |
|

|
Had a mama and a papa |
|
Four brothers and a sister |
|

|

|
LordTheir choice was |
|
The United |
|
KingdomLiving in |
|
Birmingham |
|
When they wanted to spread their wings |
|
And fly away |
|
Seven people in one room |
|
No heatOne wage |
|
And bills to pay |
|
I said bills to pay |
|
Gotta pay those bills |

Now when you're walking on heaven's floor |
|
Talking in the ear of |
|
GodWhat you gonna say to the man |
|
When he asks you what you've done |
|
Can you say you did your very best |
|
With what you had |
|
Like my mama and my papa |
|
I know two people who served up love |
|
And a whole lot more |
|
They made us hold our sides with laughter all night long |
|
Oh they made us laugh |
|
Until we cried |
|
Till we begged them stop |
|
Or we'll split our sides |
|
Now when you're walking on heaven's floor |
|
Talking in the ear of |
|
GodWhat you gonna say to the man |
|
When he asks you what you've done |
|
Can you say you did your very best |
|
With what you had |
|
Like my mama and my papa |
