Count Basie - Mama Don't Want No Peas An' Rice An' Coconut Oil lyrics

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!
