lyrics

When I get home, she gonna tan my country hide,
for kissin' little Julie on her better side.
I did not mean to bark,
but I did not mean to bite.
Looks like the queen of queens is out tonight.

[CHORUS]
Why momma gotta be so mean?
Why momma gotta be so mean?
A sift full of rice, and a brattle of beans,
Why momma gotta be so mean?

She can read my face, so I gotta watch my mind.
Before it's slippin' downtown to tease and crown a different kind.
I do not want to leave,
but I do not want to lie.
Makes a noble man want to bend his brain and cry.

[CHORUS]

I can hardly take it when she's straddling my eyes.
But it's even worse to visualize some other guys
peeking on those legs,
and ogling them thighs,
on my hippy flippy dippy yappy scrappy doo surprise.

[CHORUS]

Now I'm back to square one, circling my pride.
In a notebook full of photo scraps of her and I
grooving front-to-front,
in that mystical outside.
Makes and inmate want to drop his shank and jive!

[CHORUS]
