Song Description

This is a quick songwriter demo of a fun song dealing with that qge old question What Would Your Mama Say.

Lyrics

1. I had a dirty martini with a dirty blonde
She had eyes green as algae on a stagnant pond
Her voice was smoky and her perfume was strong
There was no doubt in my mind that this was wrong

CHORUS
What would my Mama say?
She'd say, Boy, you're never gonna make it that way
That's what my Mama would say
But I did it anyway

2. We went to a party at an old friend's place
He met me at the door with a weak embrace
The air was all smoky with a funny smell
By the end of the night I was headed for hell

CHORUS
That's what my Mama would say
She'd say Boy, I didn't raise you this way.
That's what my Mama would say
But I did it anyway

BRIDGE
Mama always told me to do what was right
Stay out of bars and stay out of fights
She said that whiskey and women would make me come undone
But Mama never knew that those things were fun

3. We were top down, southbound and doing 110
The floorboards were beer soaked, I saw trouble again
I had a clear view in the rearview of those flashing lights
When the police finally caught me he said, Boy this ain't your night

CHORUS
What would your Mama say?
She'd say Boy, you're gonna be the death of me someday
That's what my Mama would say
But I did it anyway
