When You're Good To Mama Songtext
Matron mama morton.
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
The system called reciprocity

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

There's a lot of favors
I'im prepared to do
You do one for mama
She'll do one for you.

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

Don't you know that this hand
washes that one, too
When you're good to mama
Mama's good to you!

If you want my gravy
Pepper my ragout
Spice it up for mama
She'll get hot for you

When they pass that basket
Folks conribute to
You put in for mama
She'll put our for you

The folks are top the ladder
of the ones the world adore
so boost me up my ladder kid
and I'll boost you up yours

Let's all stroke together
Like the princeton crew
When you're strokin' mama
Mama's strokin' you

So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number, too

When you're good to mama
Mama's good to you!!
