When You're Good To Mama |
| And now, ladies and gentlemen |
| The Keeper of the Keys |
| The Countess of the Clink |
| The Mistress of Murderers' Row |
| Matron Mama Morton! |
| Ask any of the chickies in my pen |
| They’ll tell you I’m the biggest mother hen |
| I love them all, and all of them love me |
| Because the system works: the system called reciprocity |
| Got a little motto, always sees me through |
| When you’re good to Mama, Mama’s good to you |
| There’s a lot of favors I’m prepared to do |
| You do one for Mama, she’ll do one for you |
| They say that life is tit for tat, and that’s the way I live |
| So I deserve a lot of tat for what I’ve got to give |
| Don’t you know that this hand washes that one, too? |
| When you’re good to Mama, Mama’s good to you! |
| If you want my gravy, pepper my ragù |
| Spice it up for Mama: she’ll get hot for you |
| When they pass that basket, folks contribute to |
| You put in for Mama, she’ll put out for you |
| The folks atop the ladder are the ones the world adores |
| So boost me up my ladder, kid, and I’ll boost you up yours |
| Let’s all stroke together, like the Princeton crew |
| When you’re strokin' Mama, Mama’s stroking you! |
| So what’s the one conclusion I can bring this number to? |
| When you’re good to Mama, Mama’s good to you! |
