Mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was right or right All kind of people had a bad time tonight And it was okay Mama told us we were good kids And daddy told us never listen to the ones Pointing nasty fingers and making fun Cause we were good kids Mama said that it was okay Mama said that it was right
