Letra 'When Your Good To Mama'

[Announcer]
And now, ladies and gentlemen.
The keeper of the keys, the countess of the
clink, the mistress of murderers row.
Matron Mama Morton!

[Mama Morton]
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They ll tell you I m the biggest mother hen
I love em all and all of them love me
Because the system works
The system called reciprocity...

Got a little motto
Always sees me through
"When you re good to Mama
Mama s good to you".

There s a lot of favors
I m prepared to do
You do one for Mama
She ll do one for you.

They say that life is tit for tat
And that s the way I live
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I ve got to give

Don t you know that this hand
Washes that one too
When you re good to Mama
Mama s good to you!

If you want my gravy
Pepper my ragout
Spice it up for Mama
She ll get hot for you

When they pass that basket
Folk contribute to
You put in for Mama
She ll put out for you

The folks atop the ladder
Are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder, Kid
And I ll boost you up yours

Let s all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew
When you re strokin Mama
Mama s strokin you

So what s the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you re good to Mama
Mama s good to you!
