(And now Ladies and Gentlemen Writer(s): FRED EBB, JOHN KANDER<br>Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.comWhen You're Good to Mama Lyrics
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!

MASTER OF CEREMONIES: Writer(s): FRED EBB, JOHN KANDER<br>Lyrics powered by www.musixmatch.comWhen You're Good to Mama Lyrics
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!
