Lyrics
MAMA WAS A GOODTIME GIRL
Mama was a goodtime girl mama was a goodtime girl
She'd turn up to a party drippin' with perfume
charm the pants off every single man in the room
show off her diamonds and pearls Mama was a goodtime girl
Mama was a goodtime girl, mama was a goodtime girl
She liked to go out dancing, heaven knows
She liked to step out and step on people's toes
She lived her life in a whirl mama was a goodtime girl
Ah ah etc.
Mama was a goodtime girl mama was a goodtime girl
Well she's down to the club every night of the week
Drink four or 5 whiskeys and bring home some freak
Round the living room they'd twirl Mama was a goodtime girl
I know she loved us but she didn't understand
She thought that to survive and feel real inside
She'd need a couple of drinks and a man
Mama was a goodtime girl mama was a goodtime girl
Sometimes she felt too tired to cook and clean
When we wanted her attention she could get real mean
scream until it shook our world Mama was a goodtime girl
Ah ah etc.
Mama was a goodtime girl mama was a goodtime girl
We had an uncle Boris and an Uncle Stan
Uncle Vince Uncle Kwame and Uncle Tran
She spread her love all over the world Mama was a goodtime girl
