"Mama Said"

[00:01.86] When mama said that is was okay

[00:04.75] Mama said that is was quite alright

[00:07.26] Our kind of people had a bed for the night

[00:10.24] And it was okay

[00:13.49] Mama told us that we were good kids

[00:16.00] And daddy told us never listen to the ones

[00:19.29] Pointing nasty fingers and making fun

[00:21.51] 'Cause we were good kids

[00:24.50] Remember asking both my mom and dad

[00:27.01] Why we never travelled to exotic lands

[00:30.00] We only ever really visit' friends

[00:32.77] Nothing to tell when the summer ends

[00:35.76] We never really went buying clothes

[00:38.51] Folks were passing the stuff in plenty loads

[00:41.52] New shoes once a year and then

[00:44.26] Out to play ball so we could ruin them

[00:47.25] When mama said that is was okay

[01:10.25] Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad

[01:12.77] I got enough lovin' from my mom and dad

[01:15.75] But I don't think they really understood

[01:18.25] When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood

[01:21.51] I told I might be singing on TV

[01:24.00] The other kids were calling me a wannabe

[01:53.01] 'Cause we were good kids

[01:57.51] I know which place I'm from

[02:00.24] I know my home

[02:02.99] When I'm in doubt and struggling

[02:06.00] That's where I'll go

[02:08.25] And old friend can give advice

[02:10.75] When new friends only know the half story
