Mama Said Lyrics

[Chorus]
My mama said that it was okay
My mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was okay

Mama told us we were good kids
And Daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointin' nasty fingers and makin' fun
'Cause we were good kids


[Outro]
My mama said that it was okay
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa...
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa...
Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa...
My mama said that it was okay
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa...
Dabdadadabdadad bdaaa...
Dabdadabdadadbdadabdaaaaa...
My mama said that it was okay

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
