When You're Good to Mama (1975)
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Performed by Queen Latifah
ask any of the chickies in my pen
they'll tell you i'm the biggest mother
then
i love them all and all of them love me
because the system works
the system called reciprocity
got a little motto
always see me through
when you're good to mama
mama's good to you
there's a lot of favors
i'im 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' 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
folks conribute to
you put in for mama
she'll put out for you
let's all stroke together
like the princeton crew
when you're strokin' mama
mamas strokin' you
so what's the conclusion
i can bring this number too
when you're good to mama
mama's good to you
