[00:23.100] Ask any of the chickies in my pen
[00:28.300] They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen
[00:33.500] I love 'em all and all of them love me
[00:36.210] Because the system works
[00:43.240] The system called reciprocity...
[00:48.840]
[00:52.600] Got a little motto
[00:56.480] Always sees me through
[00:58.640] When you're good to Mama
[01:01.870] Mama's good to you.
[01:04.970]
[01:10.339] There's a lot of favors
[01:13.100] I'm prepared to do
[01:15.890] You do one for Mama
[01:17.699] She'll do one for you.
[01:21.339]
[01:25.600] They say that life is tit for tat
[01:27.110] And that's the way I live
[01:30.699] So, I deserve a lot of tat
[01:32.710] For what I've got to give
[01:35.479] Don't you know that this hand
[01:38.390] Washes that one too
[01:41.279] When you're good to Mama
[01:47.580] Mama's good to you!
[01:50.589]
[01:56.860] If you want my gravy
[02:01.900] Pepper my ragout
[02:04.749] Spice it up for Mama
[02:06.200] She'll get hot for you
[02:10.310]
[02:13.590] When they pass that basket
[02:16.550] Folk contribut to
[02:20.200] You out in for Mama
[02:21.620] She'll put out for you
[02:26.478]
[02:29.210] The folks atop the ladder
[02:32.180] Are the ones the world adores
[02:34.550] So boost me up my ladder, Kid
[02:37.600] And I'll boost you up yours
[02:38.240]
[02:38.860] Let's all stroke together
[02:42.728] Like the Princeton crew
[02:45.550] When you're strokin' Mama
[02:48.170] Mama's strokin' you
[02:48.880]
[02:51.890] So what's the one conclusion
[02:53.670] I can bring this number to?
[02:59.530] When you're good to Mama
[03:07.560] Mama's good to you!
[00:23.100] Ask  any  of  the  chickies  in  my  pen

[01:30.699] So,  I  deserve  a  lot  of  tat
[01:32.710] For  what  I' ve  got  to  give
