               Gm7
Whatever mama say you best do it
               Cm7
Whatever mama say you best do
               F                              Gm7  D7#9
Whatever mama say, you better listen to your mama
              Gm7
Go wash your face and use some soap

Make your bed, and fold your clothes
          Cm7
Do your dishes, chew your food

Don't talk back, and don't be rude
            F
Take your shoes off at the door

Don't track no mud along this floor
        Gm7
Don't forget take the garbage out
                 D7#9
Don't want no excuses anymore
          Gm7
Hug your sister, cut the grass

Think your smart, not so fast
           Cm7
Take your fingers off the remote control

Because mama's watching that
       F
Do the dishes, feed the dog

Put out the cat, and praise the Lord
            Gm7
It wouldn't hurt you to go to church
                      D7#9
Every once in awhile

                       Gm7
I'm just doin' what my mama says

I'm gonna do...
 Cm7
Mama said I should settle down with a girl like you
          F
I'm gonna work real hard, it's what I'm gonna do
          Gm7
I'm gonna give you all my love
                 D7#9

I don't lean back in my chair,

Will not run down the stairs
        Cm7
And in case of emergency, I'll wear some fresh underwear
               F
I'll take the car in, when it's in need of repair
           Gm7
I'm gonna get myself a job
                 D7#9
But I won't cut my hair
            Gm7
I beg your pardon, that's what my mama say
               Cm7
Boy don't get smart and don't talk to me that way
    F
Who do you think you are, you better behave
    Gm7                              D7#9
"I gave you life, child I can take it away!"
