| Mama won’t you, write me a letter?
|
| Stick it in the US Mail
|
| And mama I do, hope you feel better
|
| For you, I will not fail
|
| I may not always be there when you need me, but don’t be scared
|
| You may not always be there when I need you, but I have no fear
|
| And mama I know you’ve done things
|
| In which you are not proud
|
| But mama me, if only me, would know
|
| The things that’d you’d go through, to wow a crowd
|
| Cause when I was a little girl, you’d dress me like Bardot,
|
| And the hallway’d become a catwalk, and you’d watch me go to the show
|
| Said, «All the little girls were pretty, but I was pretty like fresh flowers»
|
| I was a super hero, mama, with super powers
|
| You may not always be there when I need you, but I’m not scared
|
| I may not always be there when you need me, but have no fear
|
| I’m right here, in your ear
|
| I will be leaving soon, oh yeah all of you
|
| So take care of each other out there
|
| For I will always be, in your heart you see
|
| I’m right here: put your hand over your chest
|
| Oh and always do your best
|
| Come Lola, come Clementine, come Zuzu
|
| Come Loretta, come Sierra, come Blue
|
| Come Honey, come children, come kids
|
| Oh the whole world is out dancing in the street
|
| Kick off your shoes, child, feel the cold and wet concrete |
