| You’ve come a long way baby |
| From wealth and food stamp lines |
| You’re moving on up |
| And leaving poverty behind |
| You’ve had a good education |
| And seen the best of the schools |
| But when you take a drink |
| The ghetto comes out of you |
| I took you out of the ghetto |
| (I took you out of the ghetto) |
| I took you out of the ghetto |
| (I took you out of the ghetto) |
| I took you out of the ghetto |
| (I took you out of the ghetto) |
| But I could not get that ghetto out of you |
| You’re a foxy lady |
| Your mamma had a beautiful child |
| You’re built like a brick house |
| And that’s no lie |
| When we go to the disco |
| You drive the fellas wild |
| When you shake your booty |
| Ghetto style |
| You’re a hunk of raw sugar |
| Got some real sweet hips |
| Your love, your love, your love |
| Is like a honey drip |
| Your roots are in the mean streets |
| That’ll never change |
| Ghetto mamma |
| Stay the same |
| Ghetto mamma, don’t you change |
| Ghetto mamma, stay the same |
