Mama
Written by Trafton/Genauer
Lyrics
Mama raised me to be honest , She taught me well
Livin’ high up in a castle, She said, climb that hill
Mama raised me, it don't phase me
Cast your vote silently
In the shadow of a city
You must tell it like you see it
{Chorus} Did did did, did you know?
Did you know? Did you know? Did you know? We are all world renowned?
Take off your skirt, put on a shirt, put on a smile
Let your hair gently down. Let it down.
A word - animated any word created, a cartoon for the girls
A word - antiquated, you are not faded, living in an aging world
Eat your pills and pay your bills and pay your rent
And make your bed quietly
Boston bars and city cars and city lights, you move so gracefully
{Chorus}
All right - Mama raised me to be honest, she taught me well
Livin’ high up in her castle, she said “Climb that hill”
Mama raised me it don't phase me,
You can't kick me in my head
In the shadow of a city, You must tell it like you see it
{Chorus}
