No Man's MamaYou may wonder what's the reasonFor this great big smile Say, I haven't been so happy For the longest while Got a big load off my mind Here's the papers, sealed and signed And the judge was nice and kind All through the trial This ends the five-year war I am myself once more I can go where I please, I can come when I please I can flit, fly and flutter like the birds in the trees Because I'm no man's mamma now I can do what I like, I can say what I like I'm a gal who is on a matrimonial strike Because I'm no man's mamma now I'm screamin', "There, I know how A fella feels gettin' out of jail" I've got twin beds And I take pleasure in announcin' one's for sale Am I makin' it plain? I will never again Drag around another ball and chain Because, I'm no man's mamma now I can smile, I can wink, I can go take a drink And I don't have to worry what my hubby will think Because, I'm no man's mamma now Are you gettin' it yet? I can spend what I choose, I can play and sing the blues And there's nobody messing with my ones and my twos Because, I'm no man's mamma now I'll tell you there was a time I used to think that men were grand No more for mine I've gone and labeled my apartment "No Man's Land" I got rid of my cat, cause my cat's name was Pat Won't even have a mailbox in my flat Because, I'm no man's mamma now Am I makin' it plain? I will never again Drag around another ball and chain Because, I'm no man's mamma now |
