[00:23.10]Ask any of the chickies in my pen
[00:28.30]They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen
[00:33.50]I love 'em all and all of them love me
[00:36.21]Because the system works
[00:43.24]The system called reciprocity...
[00:48.84]
[00:52.60]Got a little motto
[00:56.48]Always sees me through
[00:58.64]When you're good to Mama
[01:01.87]Mama's good to you.
[01:04.97]
[01:09.44]There's a lot of favors
[01:12.20]I'm prepared to do
[01:14.19]You do one for Mama
[01:16.80]She'll do one for you.
[01:20.44]
[01:24.07]They say that life is tit for tat
[01:26.21]And that's the way I live
[01:29.80]So, I deserve a lot of tat
[01:31.81]For what I've got to give
[01:34.58]Don't you know that this hand
[01:37.49]Washes that one too
[01:40.38]When you're good to Mama
[01:46.68]Mama's good to you!
[01:49.69]
[01:55.96]If you want my gravy
[02:00.11]Pepper my ragout
[02:03.85]Spice it up for Mama
[02:05.12]She'll get hot for you
[02:09.41]
[02:12.69]When they pass that basket
[02:15.65]Folk contribut to
[02:19.12]You out in for Mama
[02:20.72]She'll put out for you
[02:25.58]
[02:28.31]The folks atop the ladder
[02:31.28]Are the ones the world adores
[02:33.65]So boost me up my ladder, Kid
[02:36.70]And I'll boost you up yours
[02:37.34]
[02:37.96]Let's all stroke together
[02:41.83]Like the Princeton crew
[02:44.65]When you're strokin' Mama
[02:47.27]Mama's strokin' you
[02:47.98]
[02:50.99]So what's the one conclusion
[02:52.77]I can bring this number to?
[02:58.63]When you're good to Mama
[03:06.66]Mama's good to you!
