When You're Good to Mama Lyrics

(And now Ladies and Gentlemen
The keeper of the keys
The countess of the clink
The mistress of murderer's row

Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mutha hen
I love them all and all of them love me

Got a little motto
Always sees me through
When you're good to Mama

There's a lot of favors
I'm prepared to do
You do one for Mama

They say that life is tit for tat
And that's the way I live
So I deserve a lotta tat

Don't you know that this hand
Washes that one too
When you're good to Mama

If you want my gravy
Pepper my Ragu
Spice it up for Mama

When they pass that basket
Folks contribute to
You put in for Mama

The folks atop the ladder
Are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder kid

Let's all srtoke together
Like the Princeton Crew
When you're strokin' Mama

So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you're good to Mama

Aww Yeah!

When You're Good to Mama Lyrics

MASTER OF CEREMONIES:

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

Got a little motto
Always sees me through
When you’re good to Mama

There’s a lot of favors
I’m prepared to do.
You do one for Mama

They say that life is tit-for-tat
And that’s the way I live.
So, I deserve a lot of tat

Don’t you know that this hand
Washes that one too?
When you’re good to Mama,

If you want my gravy,
Pepper my ragout.
Spice it up for Mama,

When they pass that basket,
Folks contribute to
You put in for Mama,

The folks atop the ladder
Are the ones the world adores.
So boost me up my ladder, kid,

Let’s all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew.
When you’re strokin’ Mama

So what’s the one conclusion

When you’re good to Mama
Mama’s good to you!

Ladies and gentlemen
The Keeper of the keys, the Countess of the clink
The Mistress of murderers row

Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mutha hen
I love them all and all of them love me
Because the system works, the system called reciprocity

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

They say that life is tit for tat
And that's the way I live
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I've got to give

Washes that one too?

If you want my gravy
Pepper my raggoo
Spice it up for Mama

Folks conribute too
You put in for Mama

The folks a top the ladder
Are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder kid
And I'll boost you up your's

So what's the one conclusion?

When you're good to Mama
