Songtexte: Jason Mraz. Life Is Good EP. What Mama Say.
With that said, this is a song for the mama's
(La la da da da da...)
Whatever mama say
You best do it
Whatever mama say
You best do
Whatever mama say
You better listen to your mama
Go wash your face, use some soap
Make your bed, fold your clothes
Clean your plate and chew your food
Don't talk back, don't be rude
Get your shoes off at the door,
Don't track no mud along this 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 my mama say imma gonna do
Mama said that I should settle down with a girl like you
I'm gonna work real hard, it's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna give you all my lovin' and make you a mama too
Sugar, that's what imma gonna do
I'm gonna make you a mama too
(La la da da da da...)
Whatever mama say
You best do it
Whatever mama say
You best do
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 take the car in, 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"
"I gave you life, child, I can take it away!"
What mama say
Imma gonna do
Mama said I that i should settle down with a girl like you
I'll work real hard, it's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna give you all my lovin' and make you a mama too
Oh that's what imma gonna do
I'm gonna make you a mama too
Singing la la la la la
(La la da da da da...)
Ah ha ha ha
SInging that's what imma gonna do
I'm gonna make you a mama too
SInging that's what imma gonna do
I'm gonna make you a mama too
Singing la la la la la
(La la da da da da...)
Whatever mama say
You best do it
Whatever mama say
You best do
Whatever mama say
You better listen to your mama
Woo!
(La la da da da da...)
Whatever mama say
You best do it
Whatever mama say
You best do
Whatever mama say
You better listen to your mama
Go wash your face, use some soap
Make your bed, fold your clothes
Clean your plate and chew your food
Don't talk back, don't be rude
Get your shoes off at the door,
Don't track no mud along this 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
