《When You’re Good to Mama》歌词

[00:00:00] When You're Good to Mama - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:03] And now Ladies and Gentlemen

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

[00:00:06] The countess of the clink

[00:00:07] The mistress of murderer's row

[00:00:09] Matron Mama Morton

[00:00:25] Ask any of the chickies in my pen

[00:00:31] They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen

[00:00:38] I love 'em all and all of them love me

[00:00:45] Because the system works

[00:00:47] The system called reciprocity

[00:01:03] Got a little motto

[00:01:05] Always sees me through

[00:01:08] When you're good to Mama

[00:01:11] Mama's good to you.

[00:01:16] There's a lot of favors

[00:01:19] I'm prepared to do

[00:01:22] You do one for Mama

[00:01:25] She'll do one for you.

[00:01:29] They say that life is tit for tat

[00:01:32] And that's the way I live

[00:01:35] So, I deserve a lot of tat

[00:01:38] For what I've got to give

[00:01:41] Don't you know that this hand

[00:01:44] Washes that one too

[00:01:47] When you're good to Mama

[00:01:50] Mama's good to you!

[00:01:59] If you want my gravy

[00:02:02] Pepper my ragout

[00:02:05] Spice it up for Mama

[00:02:08] She'll get hot for you

[00:02:13] When they pass that basket

[00:02:16] Folk contribut to

[00:02:18] You out in for Mama

[00:02:22] She'll put out for you

[00:02:26] The folks atop the ladder

[00:02:28] Are the ones the world adores

[00:02:32] So boost me up my ladder, Kid

[00:02:35] And I'll boost you up yours

[00:02:38] Let's all stroke together

[00:02:41] Like the Princeton crew

[00:02:44] When you're strokin' Mama

[00:02:47] Mama's strokin' you

[00:02:51] So what's the one conclusion

[00:02:55] I can bring this number to?

[00:02:59] When you're good to Mama

[00:03:05] Mama's good to you!
