Lyrics

Momma?s Tattoo

Verse:
When I was young I knew my Mom
Was different from the rest
She was from the Haight-Ashbury
A flower of the Aquarian West

She had long, straight hair, granny specs
And a cloak of velvet plush
But she had a secret
That would make a biker blush

Chorus:
Mama how?d you get that tattoo?
All my friends are chasing after you
It?s kinda big
It?s really weird
And it glows with a neon hue
Mama how?d you get that tattoo?

Verse:
There may come a day in a young boy?s life
When he sees his Mama nude
Not to look away would be
Considered highly rude

But at the swimming hole my eye was caught
By something not meant to show
I?m not sure just what it was
And I really don?t want to know

Chorus:
Mama how?d you get that tattoo?
All my friends are chasing after you
It?s kinda big
It?s really weird
And it glows with a neon hue
Mama how?d you get that tattoo?

Verse:
A fire still burns in my old man?s eyes
When he gazes at my Ma
And all these years he?s never strayed
At least not very far

Late one night I asked him
To reveal the mystery
He said a hexagram, the I Ching
And supermarket astrology

Chorus:
Mama how?d you get that tattoo?
All my friends are chasing after you
It?s kinda big
It?s really weird
And it glows with a neon hue
Mama how?d you get that tattoo?

Verse:
Now I?m grow?d up and I want a gal
A lot like my old Ma
Someone to light up my whole life
Just like she did for Pa

A girl whose hair is long and straight
A girl who?s tall and lean
A girl whose every tattoo
Has been erased with a laser beam

Chorus:
(So our kids won?t have to ask?.)
Mama how?d you get that tattoo?
All my friends are chasing after you
It?s kinda big
It?s really weird
And it glows with a neon hue
Mama how?d you get that ???
Mama how?d you get that ???
Mama can you lose that tattoo?
