《When You’re Good To Mama》歌词

[00:00:02] And now ladies and gentlemen

[00:00:04] The Keeper of the keys

[00:00:05] The Countess of the clink

[00:00:07] The mistress of Murderers Row

[00:00:10] Matron Mama Morton

[00:00:24] Ask any of the chickies in my pen

[00:00:29] They'll tell you I'm the biggest Mutha

[00:00:36] I love them all and all of them love me

[00:00:43] Because the system works;

[00:00:45] The system called reciprocity

[00:00:58] Got a little motto

[00:01:01] Always sees me through

[00:01:04] When you're good to Mama

[00:01:07] Mama's good to you

[00:01:11] There's a lot of favors

[00:01:14] I'm prepared to do

[00:01:17] You do one for Mama

[00:01:20] She'll do one for you

[00:01:24] They say that life is tit for tat

[00:01:27] And that's the way I live

[00:01:30] So I deserve a lot of tat

[00:01:33] For what I've got to give

[00:01:37] Don't you know that this hand

[00:01:39] Washes that one too

[00:01:42] When you're good to Mama

[00:01:45] Mama's good to you

[00:02:23] If you want my gravy

[00:02:26] Pepper my rague

[00:02:29] Spice it up for Mama

[00:02:31] She'll get hot for you

[00:02:36] When they pass that basket

[00:02:39] Folks conribute to

[00:02:42] You put in for Mama

[00:02:45] She'll put out for you

[00:02:49] The folks a top the ladder

[00:02:51] Are the ones the world adores

[00:02:55] So boost me up my ladder kid

[00:02:58] And I'll boost you up yours

[00:03:01] Let's all stroke together

[00:03:04] Like the Princeton crew

[00:03:07] When you're strokin' Mama

[00:03:10] Mama's strokin' you

[00:03:14] So what's the one conclusion

[00:03:16] I can bring this number to

[00:03:21] When you're good to Mama

[00:03:27] Mama's good to you
