Mama Said Lyrics

Mama said – show respect for one another
Mama said – take a pride in what you do
Never put off ‘till tomorrow what you can do today
And always have a shine on your shoes

I remember all these things my mama told me
Was the picture of the life that she had led
All these little pearls of wisdom
She had gathered in her life
And had passed to me with every word she said


Mama said – show respect for one another
Mama said – take a pride in what you do
Never put off ‘till tomorrow what you can do today
And always have a shine on your shoes

...music...

Now i've got children of my own i try to tell them
All these little things my mama said to me
And the recipe of life between a husband and a wife
Makes a life of love forever happily

Mama said – show respect for one another
Mama said – take a pride in what you do
Never put off ‘till tomorrow what you can do today
And always have a shine on your shoes

Always live this day as if it is your last
‘cos heaven knows that one day you'll be right
Settle your indifferences before you go to bed
Never go to sleep before you say goodnight

Mama said – show respect for one another
Mama said – take a pride in what you do
Never put off ‘till tomorrow what you can do today
And always have a shine on your shoes
...music...
