Footloose movie - Mama Says lyrics
rate meSong by Joe Rappe and Gang<br /><br>
Willard: <br>
Everything I ever learned <br>
That gets me through the worst <br>
I learned at my Mama's knee <br>
Now, anytime I'm turned around <br>
I turn to Mama first <br>
And you'd be wise <br>
To memorize <br>
What Mama says to me <br>
<br>
<br>
Now, Mama ain't been wrong yet. And I'm the living proof <br>
<br>
Jeter: <br>
Take that for what it's worth <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
Mama says <br>
Don't use a toaster while standing in the shower <br>
Now who can argue with that? <br>
Mama says <br>
Don't hold your breath for longer than an hour <br>
The woman knows where it's at! <br>
<br>
<br>
And Mama says it doesn't matter <br>
If you're a kind or you're a clown <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
You can't back down <br>
<br>
Bickle: <br>
You can't back down Ren! <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
Now Ren, you've not yet had the pleasure of meeting my Mama, but these boys over here have. C'mon and help me out here,<br>
Fellas. <br>
<br>
Jeter, Garvin & Bickle: <br>
Mama says <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
Don't drink hot coffee lying down in bed <br>
Don't even give it a thought <br>
<br>
Jeter, Garvin & Bickle: <br>
It's a mess <br>
Mama says <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
Never eat anything that's bigger than your head <br>
Is she a whiz or what? <br>
<br>
Jeter, Garvin & Bickle: <br>
Oh, yes! <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
And Mama says it doesn't matter <br>
If you're a kind or you're a clown <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
You can't back down <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
You can't back down <br>
<br>
<br>
Mama makes a lot of sense <br>
If you know how to listen <br>
She is clear and concise <br>
Daddy says, "I love her son, <br>
But she's got marbles missin' <br>
But I say, "Hey! It's free advice, <br>
What do you expect at that price?" <br>
<br>
Jeter, Garvin & Bickle: <br>
Mama says <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
What you believe in is all you really own <br>
And I believe that she's right <br>
<br>
Jeter, Garvin & Bickle: <br>
Mama says <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
If you've got doubts, well then boy you're not alone <br>
Just means you're ready to fight <br>
<br>
<br>
And Mama says it doesn't matter <br>
If you're a king or you're a clown <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
You can't back down, down, down, down <br>
<br>
The Guys take turn with the next couple lines <br>
<br>
<br>
You can turn up the heat <br>
You can turn up the road <br>
You can carry a beat <br>
You can carry a load <br>
You can throw a fit <br>
You can throw a punch <br>
You can bring up a child <br>
<br>
Ren: <br>
You can bring up your lunch! <br>
<br>
A One, Two, Three <br>
<br>
All: <br>
And Mama says it doesn't matter <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
If you drive a hard bargain or drive around town <br>
<br>
All: <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
You can't back down <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
You can't back down! <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
I thought of one more thing... <br>
<br>
<br>
Mama says <br>
Don't buy a chandelier unless you've got a ceiling <br>
I don't know what that's about <br>
Mama says <br>
Don't chew on tin foil unless you like that feeling <br>
Somehow she figured that out <br>
<br>
Willard, Garvin, Lyle & Jeter: <br>
And Mama says <br>
It doesn't matter <br>
If you're a kind or you're a clown <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
<br>
Willard <br>
Remember, boy <br>
Everyone's countin' on you <br>
<br>
All: <br>
Once you drive up a mountain <br>
You can't back down! <br>
<br>
Willard: <br>
That's my Mama!<br>
<br>
