Lyrics
Ladies and Gentlemen the Keeper of the Keys, the Countess of the Clink, the Mistress of Murder's row Matron "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 contribut to
You out 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!
