HOMAGE TO THE ALL AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE......THAT TAKES A CHEEKY TURN

Lyrics

IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY

I'M JUST AN AVERAGE WORKING STIFF
WORKING 9 TO 5, SOMETIMES 7 TO 6
JUST TRYIN' TO GET HOME TO MY WIFE AND KIDS
IN THE EVENING

SOME NIGHTS WHEN I COME IN THE DOOR
SHE'S WHISTLIN' IN THE KITCHEN
KIDS ARE ROLLIN' ON THE FLOOR
THE WHOLE DARN SCENE JUST COULDN'T BE MORE
PLEASIN'

SOME DAYS CAN'T BE BETTER
SOME DAYS CAN'T BE WORSE
I GOT I ALL FIGURED OUT NOW
HOW IT ALL WORKS

IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, THEN NOBODYS HAPPY
SHE NEEDS LOVE AND RESPECT
'CAUSE YOU KNOW SHE SETS THE TONE
IF MAMA AIN'T ALRIGHT
THEN IT'S BOUND TO BE A LONG NIGHT
SHE'S IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THE HEARTS IN OUR HOME

NOW I'M AS FAR AS YOU CAN GET FROM A PERFECT MAN
AND SOMETIMES I'M GUILTY OF MAKIN' DEMANDS
THEN MY WORLD EXPLODES AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND
JUST WHAT I DID

SHE STARTS YELLING, THE KIDS START CRYING
SAYIN' "SORRY AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH!" AND
"SUE ME FOR TRYIN'!"

IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, THEN NOBODYS HAPPY
SHE NEEDS LOVE AND RESPECT
'CAUSE YOU KNOW SHE SETS THE TONE
IF MAMA AIN'T ALRIGHT
THEN IT'S BOUND TO BE A LONG NIGHT
SHE'S IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THE HEARTS
IN OUR HOME

(INTERLUDE)

IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, THEN NOBODYS HAPPY
SHE NEEDS LOVE AND RESPECT
'CAUSE YOU KNOW SHE SETS THE TONE
IF MAMA AIN'T ALRIGHT
THEN IT'S BOUND TO BE A LONG NIGHT
BEST TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH
AND STAY OUTTA SIGHT TILL IT'S OVER!

IF MAMA AIN'T HAPPY, THEN NOBODYS HAPPY
SHE NEEDS LOVE AND RESPECT
'CAUSE YOU KNOW SHE SETS THE TONE
IF MAMA AIN'T ALRIGHT
THEN IT'S BOUND TO BE A LONG NIGHT
BEST TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH
AND STAY OUTTA SIGHT TILL IT'S OVER!
BEST TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH
AND STAY OUTTA SIGHT TILL IT'S OVER!
