Lyrics
0:02When Mama said that it was okay
0:04Mama said that it was quite alright
0:07Our kind of people had a bed for the night
0:10And it was okay
0:13Mama told us we were good kids
0:16And daddy told us never listen to the ones
0:19Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
0:21'Cause we were good kids
0:24Remember asking both my mom and dad
0:27Why we never travelled to exotic lands
0:30We only ever really visit friends
0:33Nothing to tell when the summer ends
0:36We never really went buying clothes
0:38Folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
0:42New shoes once a year and then
0:44Out to play ball so we could ruin them
0:47When mama said that it was okay
0:50Mama said that it was quite alright
0:53Our kind of people had a bed for the night
0:56And it was okay
0:59Mama told us we were good kids
1:01And daddy told us never listen to the ones
1:05Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
1:07'Cause we were good kids
1:10Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad
1:13I got enough loving from my mom and dad
1:16But I don't think they really understood
1:18When I said that I wanted a deal in Hollywood
1:21I told them I'd be singing on TV
1:24The other kids were calling me a wannabe
1:27The older kids they started bugging me
1:29But now they're all standing right in front of me
1:33When mama said that it was okay
1:36Mama said that it was quite alright
1:39Our kind of people had a bed for the night
1:41And it was ok
1:44Mama told us we were good kids
1:47And daddy told us never listen to the ones
1:51Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
1:53'Cause we were good kids
1:57I know which place I'm from
2:00I know my home
2:03When I'm in doubt and struggling
2:06That's where I go
2:08An old friend can give advice
2:11Where new friends only know a half story
2:14That's why I'm always keep them tight
2:16And why I'm okay
2:19I said I'm OK
2:21You know what my mama said
2:23You know what she told me
2:24My mama said that it was ok
2:27Mama said that it was quite alright
2:30Our kind of people had a bed for the night
2:33And it was ok
2:36Mama told us we were good kids
2:39And daddy told us never listen to the ones
2:42Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
2:44'Cause we were good kids
2:47Mama said that it was okay
2:49Babada babada baba
2:52Babada babada baba
2:54Babada babada baba
2:59Mama said that it was okay
3:00Babada babada baba
3:03Babada babada baba
3:06Babada babada baba
3:10When mama said that it was okay
When Mama said that it was okay 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 Pointing nasty fingers and making fun 'Cause we were good kids Remember asking both my mom and dad Why we never travelled to exotic lands We only ever really visit friends Nothing to tell when the summer ends We never really went buying clothes Folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads New shoes once a year and then Out to play ball so we could ruin them When mama said that it was okay 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 Pointing nasty fingers and making fun 'Cause we were good kids Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad I got enough loving from my mom and dad But I don't think they really understood When I said that I wanted a deal in Hollywood I told them I'd be singing on TV The other kids were calling me a wannabe The older kids they started bugging me But now they're all standing right in front of me When mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was ok Mama told us we were good kids And daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun 'Cause we were good kids I know which place I'm from I know my home When I'm in doubt and struggling That's where I go An old friend can give advice Where new friends only know a half story That's why I'm always keep them tight And why I'm okay I said I'm OK You know what my mama said You know what she told me My mama said that it was ok Mama said that it was quite alright Our kind of people had a bed for the night And it was ok Mama told us we were good kids And daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun 'Cause we were good kids Mama said that it was okay Babada babada baba Babada babada baba Babada babada baba Mama said that it was okay Babada babada baba Babada babada baba Babada babada baba When mama said that it was okay
