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.
