Mama don't want no peas an' rice an' coconut oil
Mama don't want no peas an' rice an' coconut oil
Mama don't want no peas an' rice
Mama don't want no coconut oil
Just a bottle of brandy handy all the day!
Mama don't want no gin because it would make her sin
Mama don't want no gin because it would make her sin
Mama don't want no gla** o'gin
Because it's bound to make her sin
Says it keeps her hot and bothered all the day!
Mama complains she's got a pain across her chest
Mama complains she's got a pain across her chest
Mama complains she's got a pain
And the reason is very plain
And the fruit that papa gave her, it won't digest!
Mama she likes the rum, it fills her so with fun
Mama she likes the rum, it fills her so with fun
Mama she likes to have her rum
She says it fills her so with fun
It makes her feel like whoopee all the time!
Mama lay down last night to sleep, she says she's feeling cold
Mama lay down last night to sleep, she says she's feeling cold
Mama lay down to sleep, we're told
Mama was feeling very cold
She says that papa must be getting old!
