Mama's alright She's got the taste you need Mama's alright She's got that smile But if you're in doubt, pick up the telephone Another reason for you to cry Another reason that mama lied to you
That little black skirt she wears And with her thick pink lips she swears She may not be a lady but she's alright
She's got the walk men love She's got the voice that makes men melt She may not be calling you tonight
But Mama knows her wrong from right and she will say“so what” And Mama knows to be herself so she can be with me... and now
Mama's alright She's got the taste you need Mama's alright She's got that smile But if you're in doubt, pick up the telephone Another reason for you to cry Another reason that mama lied to you
I never felt the real her I never touched the real her She may not be alive but she's alright
But Mama knows her wrong from right and she will say“so what” And Mama knows to be herself so she can be with me... and now
Mama's alright She's got the taste you need Mama's alright She's got that smile But if you're in doubt, pick up the telephone Another reason for you to cry Another reason that mama lied to you
And you should know your wrong from right so you can say“so what” And you should know to be yourself so you can be with me... and now
Saw you last night You had the taste I need I saw you last night But you didn't smile If you're in doubt Pick up the telephone Now I'm alright 'Cause I got the smile
Yeah Mama's alright She's got the taste you need Mama's alright She's got that smile Mama's alright She's got the taste you need Mama's alright She's got that smile
