Story behind the song
My wife and I both grew up in Downsview, Ontario. This song is about those days.
Lyrics
Mama © Peter Mandic He was playing by the river bend A sad story they depend To keep the other children alive Don’t you go in the murky woods The wicked witch will get you good And teach you why to listen to your mama To your mama To your mama Had our first smoke in the Dells While Lester B. was spinning spells And Grandravine was not what we were after Liked to hang at The Sit ‘n’ Eat Madonna girls were oh so sweet We all knew they listened to their mama To their mama To your mama I played guitar like she knew I would In a band close to the hood I loved those jungle sounds, oh so smooth Lived across from the Air Force place Johnny played such a groovy base And wrote a song ‘bout listenin’ to his mama To his mama All the girls she’d disapprove Until your smile made its move You were seventeen, and she knew, I loved you Now that I have a heart And the girl that made it start Man I’m glad I listened to my mama To my mama To my mama To my mama Man I’m glad I listened to my ma
