Story behind the song
Mother's will put eveyone before them, but, somedays they're in need of a change. This song is about that day. Who'd know better than my better half! Alie got this ball rolling. I tip my hat to her hidden talent.
Lyrics
MAMA AIN’T GOT NO MONEY
She walks in the front door, like she's pulled up in Santa’s sleigh
No hello, how you doin' or was your day O.K.
Instead, brother's hoggin' the T.V.; I need one in my room
Then he says, sisters broke my remote control car, it's lost all it's VA-VOOM!
Standin' with their hands out, she’s got the gimme blues
She's just had the worst day, now for the Late Breaking News
-Chorus-
Mama ain't got no money; says, she wakes the rooster and doesn't mind
On herself she won't spend a dime, it's time to draw the line
She's workin' with an $ 8.00 hair cut, that’s no Vidal Sassoon
Not a slice of heaven, these words’ll have to do...
- MAMA AIN'T GOT NO MONEY -
So she won't be misunderstood, she is speakin’ plain
But, in one ear and out the other, the demands still fire away
Her dignity’s hard to sustain, now in a fit she exclaims
The Bank of Me is closed, for a personal holiday!
-Chorus-
Mama ain't got no money; says, she wakes the rooster and doesn't mind
On herself she won't spend a dime, it's time to draw the line
She's workin' with an $ 8.00 hair cut, that’s no Vidal Sassoon
Not a slice of heaven, these words’ll have to do...
- MAMA AIN'T GOT NO MONEY -
-SOLO-
-Bridge-
She’s payin’ the bills, buyin’ name brand shoes
Video games she's goin’ looney tunes
Feels guilty when sendin’ on herself
That’s hazardous to her health
-Chorus-
Mama ain't got no money; they're lookin' at her as if she's gone nuts
Put off, her belt is tightin' up and her purse is slammin' shut
No more $8.00 haircuts, got a date with Vidal Sasson
A lil' slice of heaven, more changes are comin' too
'cause
-MAMA AIN'T GOT NO MONEY-
