| [00:23.10] |
Ask any of the chickies in my pen |
| [00:28.30] |
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen |
| [00:33.50] |
I love 'em all and all of them love me |
| [00:36.21] |
Because the system works |
| [00:43.24] |
The system called reciprocity... |
| [00:48.84] |
|
| [00:52.60] |
Got a little motto |
| [00:56.48] |
Always sees me through |
| [00:58.64] |
When you're good to Mama |
| [01:01.87] |
Mama's good to you. |
| [01:04.97] |
|
| [01:09.44] |
There's a lot of favors |
| [01:12.20] |
I'm prepared to do |
| [01:14.19] |
You do one for Mama |
| [01:16.80] |
She'll do one for you. |
| [01:20.44] |
|
| [01:24.07] |
They say that life is tit for tat |
| [01:26.21] |
And that's the way I live |
| [01:29.80] |
So, I deserve a lot of tat |
| [01:31.81] |
For what I've got to give |
| [01:34.58] |
Don't you know that this hand |
| [01:37.49] |
Washes that one too |
| [01:40.38] |
When you're good to Mama |
| [01:46.68] |
Mama's good to you! |
| [01:49.69] |
|
| [01:55.96] |
If you want my gravy |
| [02:00.11] |
Pepper my ragout |
| [02:03.85] |
Spice it up for Mama |
| [02:05.12] |
She'll get hot for you |
| [02:09.41] |
|
| [02:12.69] |
When they pass that basket |
| [02:15.65] |
Folk contribut to |
| [02:19.12] |
You out in for Mama |
| [02:20.72] |
She'll put out for you |
| [02:25.58] |
|
| [02:28.31] |
The folks atop the ladder |
| [02:31.28] |
Are the ones the world adores |
| [02:33.65] |
So boost me up my ladder, Kid |
| [02:36.70] |
And I'll boost you up yours |
| [02:37.34] |
|
| [02:37.96] |
Let's all stroke together |
| [02:41.83] |
Like the Princeton crew |
| [02:44.65] |
When you're strokin' Mama |
| [02:47.27] |
Mama's strokin' you |
| [02:47.98] |
|
| [02:50.99] |
So what's the one conclusion |
| [02:52.77] |
I can bring this number to? |
| [02:58.63] |
When you're good to Mama |
| [03:06.66] |
Mama's good to you! |
