(La la da da da da...)



Whatever mama say

You best do it

Whatever mama say

You best do it

Whatever mama say

You better listen to your mama



Wash your face, use some soap

Make your bed, fold your clothes

Clean your dishes, chew your food

Don't talk back and don't be rude

Take 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 is what I'm gonna do

Mama said that I should settle down with a girl like you

I'm gonna work real hard, it's what I wanna do

I'm gonna give you all my lovin' and make you a mama too

Baby, that's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna make you a mama too



(La la da da da da...)



Whatever mama say

You best do

Whatever mama say

You best do it

Whatever mama say

You better listen to your mama



I won't lean back in my chair

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 better behave"

She said "I gave you life, child, I can take it away!"



What mama say

Is what I'm gonna do

Mama said I should be with a girl like you

I'm gonna work real hard, it's what I wanna do

I'm gonna give you all my lovin' and make you a mama too



Sugar, that's what I'm gonna do 

I'm gonna make you a mama too

That's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna make you a mama too

Whatever mama say
