La la da da da da.. Whatever mama say you'd best do it Whatever mama say you'd best do Whatever mama say you'd better listen to your mama
Go wash your face, use some soap, make your bed, fold your clothes Clean your plate, chew your food, don't talk back and don't be rude Get your shoes off at the door, don't track no mud along that floor Don't forget to take the garbage out, don't want no excuses anymore
Call your sister, cut the grass, think you're smart? Not so fast Take your fingers off the remote control because mama's watching that Do the dishes, feed the dog, put out the cat and praise the Lord It wouldn't hurt you to go to church any once in awhile, just get going
What mama say I'm gonna do Mama said that I should settle down with a girl like you I'm wanna work real hard, it's what I wanna do I'm gonna give you all my lovin' and make you a mama too
Chorus: Oh, sugar, that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna make you a mama too
Whatever mama say you'd best do it Whatever mama say you'd best do Whatever mama say you'd better listen to your mama
I won't lean back in my chair, I will not run down the stairs And in case of emergency I'll wear some fresh underwear I'll keep it callin' when it's in need of repair I'm gonna get myself a job but I won't cut my hair
"I beg your pardon?" that's what my mama say "Boy don't get smart and don't talk to me that way! Who do you think you are, boy? You've better behave I gave you life, child, I can take it away!"
Well, mama say I'm gonna do Mama said that I should settle down with a farm girl like you I'm wanna work real hard, it's what I'm do I'm gonna give you all my lovin' and make you a mama too
