Mama & papa

Your mama and your papa, sister and your brother,
Friends across the street and a whole lot of others,
They don’t wanna see me with you.
No they don’t wanna see me with you.
They need to tend to their business oho and I’ll tend to mine and everything will be real fine.

I went to a jeweller, bought an engagement ring,
Your mama took one look at it and said: “where did he get that thing”
They don’t wanna see me with you.
No they don’t wanna see me with you.
They need to tend to their business oho and I’ll tend to mine and everything will be real fine.

Oh say your business son.
Oh get in the alley now.

Your papa told your brother: “there’s a job to be done, son go get my gun we gonna make this joker run.”
They don’t wanna see me with you.
No they don’t wanna see me with you.
They ought to tend to their business oho and I’ll tend to mine and everything will be real fine.

Oh say your business now.
