WHAT'S THAT SAY ?

I CAME HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY
AND MY DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE
THERE WASN'T NONE OF MY BELONGINGS
NO THEY WASN'T LEFT INSIDE
WELL I RAN TO THE PHONE
TO CALL THE POLICE
BUT THEY TOOK MY TELEPHONE TOO
AND ALL THEY LEFT
WAS JUST A PILE OF OLD BILLS
THAT HAVE LONG BEEN OVERDUE

MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
MAMMA MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
YOU KNOW ONE MAN'S PLEASURE
MIGHT CAUSE ANOTHER FELLA PAIN
BABY WHAT'S THAT SAY?
MAMMA MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
IF YOU CAN'T STAND TO LOSE
WELL YOU BETTER NOT PLAY THE GAME

THERE WAS A LADY IN MY YOUNGER YEARS
THE SWEETEST GAL I EVER DID SEE
AND I COULD SEE SHE WAS DESTINED TO BE
AN AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE'S DREAM
THIS HERE GIRL, SHE HAD A REPUTATION
FOR PLEASING ALL THE BOYS IN TOWN
AND NOW SHE'S LIVING IN
WINNEBAGO TOW ALONG
SELLING BIBLES TOWN TO TOWN

MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
MAMMA MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
YOU KNOW ONE MAN'S PLEASURE
MIGHT BRING ANOTHER FELLA PAIN
BABY WHAT'S THAT SAY?
MAMMA MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT
WELL YOU BETTER NOT PLAY THE GAME

THEN I HAVE THIS FRIEND OF MINE
HE'S THE BEST FRIEND I EVER DID KNOW
HE GIVES ME PEACE AND SOLITUDE
THE BOY MAKES ME FEEL SO AT HOME
THIS HERE FRIEND HE AIN'T TOO SMART
BUT HE AIN'T NO ONE'S FOOL
ALL HE EVER ASKS IS TO
SCRATCH HIM ON HIS HEAD
AND KEEP HIS BOWL FULL OF FOOD

MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
MAMMA MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
YOU KNOW ONE MAN'S PLEASURE
MIGHT CAUSE ANOTHER FELLA'S PAIN
MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
MAMMA MAMMA WHAT'S THAT SAY?
IF YOU CAN'T STAND TO LOOSE
WELL YOU BETTER NOT PLAY THE GAME
