Everybody?s got to pay
But some don?t know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Just taking the things not worth having
Chorus:
Don?t you worry bout a thing (2x) 
Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
You say your style of life?s a drag,
And that you must go other places,
But just don?t you feel too bad,
When you get fooled by smiling faces,
Chorus: 
Don?t you worry bout a thing (2x)
Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it ooooooooooooooooooooooooooout
When you get oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofffff your trip
Don?t you worry bout a thing (2x)
Don't you worry bout it
*scatting*
Don't you worry bout a thing (2x)
Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
When you get off your trip
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through
Chorus: 
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (2x)
Pretty Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the sides when you check it out
Don?t you worry bout a thaaaaaaang.(4x)
Don't you worry bout it
*scatting*
Don?tcha worry bout a thang (repeat)
Don?t worry (5x)
