OH MAMA


You get up every morning at the sound of the bell
You stumble out the door just a-feeling like hell
I make it into class about a quarter past eight
I hear my teacher yakking at me 'cause I'm ten minutes late
So down at my desk next to my girlfriend Mary
You were late for a date so I went out with Harry
Honey don't you know I had to stay in the class
I never took my homework on that old dark road
This car, it ran out of gas

I get up every morning at the sound of the bell
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Stumble out the door just a-feeling like hell
Oh mama, oh mama, why
I get into class about a quarter past eight
Oh mama, oh mama, why
I get my teacher yakking at me cause I'm ten minutes late
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Why do you treat me like this?
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Cause when I look in your eyes you know I just can't resist
You're my hully gully, baby, I'm all a-twist

I get up every morning at the sound of the bell
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Stumble out the door just a-feeling like hell
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Why do you treat me like this?
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Cause when I look in your eyes you know I just can't resist
You're my hully gully, baby, I'm all a-twist

Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh why

Oh mama, mama, mama, mama
Have up on the school and I gotta go to job
Oh mama, oh mama, why
My teacher and papa screaming that I look like a slob
Oh mama, oh mama, why
My boss man won't give me a moment of peace
Oh mama, oh mama, why
I'm just a low class, pumpin' gas, monkey in grease
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Why do you treat me like this, I don't know
Cause when I look in your eyes you know I just can't resist
You're my hully gully, baby, I'm all a-twist

Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama, oh mama, why
Oh mama why
