| And now Ladies and Gentlemen | |
| The keeper of the keys | |
| The countess of the clink | |
| The mistress of murderer's row | |
| Matron Mama Morton | |
| Ask any of the chickies in my pen | |
| They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen | |
| I love them all and all of them love me | |
| Because the system works the system called reciprocity | |
| Got a little motto | |
| Always sees me through | |
| When you're good to Mama | |
| Mama's good to you | |
| There's a lot of favors | |
| I'm prepared to do | |
| You do one for Mama | |
| She'll do one for you | |
| They say that life is tit for tat | |
| And that's the way I live | |
| So I deserve a lotta tat | |
| For what I've got to give | |
| Don't you know that this hand | |
| Washes that one too | |
| When you're good to Mama | |
| Mama's good to you | |
| If you want my gravy | |
| Fezzle my Ragu | |
| Spice it up for Mama | |
| She'll get hot for you | |
| When the pass that basket | |
| Folks contribute to | |
| You put in for Mama | |
| She'll put out for you | |
| The folks that stop the ladder | |
| Are the ones the world adores | |
| So boost me up my ladder kid | |
| And I'll boost you up yours | |
| Let's all srtoke together | |
| Like the Princeton Crew | |
| When you're strokin' Mama | |
| Mama's strokin' you | |
| So what's the one conclusion | |
| I can bring this number to? | |
| When you're good to Mama | |
| Mama's good to you | |
| Aww Yeah |
