Drop down mama
Let daddy see
You got somethin'
Really worryin' me
Now my mama, she don't 'llow me
Stay out a whole night long
'Cause you may be a minor
And you may be treated wrong
Now, my baby she got ways
Sunday mo'nin, do like a squirrel
Get up in the mo'nin, grab a limb
Cock it on the wall
My mama, She don't 'llow it
To stay out all night long
Say, 'You maybe a minor, son
An you may be treated wrong.'
Yeah-hey-hey-hey-hey
Now, when you get you a woman
An she act funny in ev'way
Just D.B. alright
She be home someday
'Cause my mama don't 'llow me
Stay out out all night long
<After you do this>
Yes, she may be a minor
An she may be treated wrong
I'm 'on write you a letter
Sunday mo'nin, 'on mail it in the air
You can tell by that, babe
I got a woman somewhere
'Cause my mama don't 'llow
Stay out out all night long
An ya may be a minor
An ya may be treated wrong
Now, if you get you a woman
Now-now, treat her nice in ev'ryway
Yes, yeah
Ooh, if you get you a woman
Treat her nice in ev'ryway
'Cause when you get Chicago
D'eez women walkin' 'round here
(Any bootie, you can take home)
<ha-ha-ha>
'I wan' say it loud'
(guitar to end)
Yeah, ha-ha
Yeah!
Yes, yes
Yeah.
