Capo 3
When Mama said that it was oCkay G
Mama said that it was qDuite aEmlright
Our kind of people had a Dbed for the
niEmght
And it was DOK
Mama told us we are gCood kids G
And daddy told us never liDsten to
the oEmnes
Pointing nasty fiDngers and making
fEmun
'Cause we were good kDids
(Vers)
Remember asking both my Emmom and dad
WChy we never traveled to eGxotic
lands
We only ever really visEmit friends
CNothing to tell when the sGummer ends
We never really went buEmying clothes
FColks were passing on this stuff in
plGenty loads
New shoes once a year and then
Out to play ball so we could ruin them
(Same chords as before)
(Chorus)
When mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was OK
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were good kids
Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
But I don't think they really understood
When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood
I told them I'll be singing on TV
The other kids were calling me a wannabe
The older kids they started bugging me
But now they're all standing right in front of me
When mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was OK
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were good kids
I know which place I'm from
I know my home
When I'm in doubt and struggling
That's where I go
An old friend can give advice
When new friends only know a half story
That's why I'm always keep them tight
And why I'm okay
I said I'm OK
You know what my mama said
You know what she told me
My mama said that it was OK
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was OK
Mama told us we were good kids
And daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
'Cause we were good kids
Mama said that it was okay
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
When mama said that it was okay
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba
When mama said that it was okay...
