(That's What My) Mommie Said

lyrics

That’s What My Mommy Said

Now I remember when I was half of sixteen
My Mommy seemed to me to really be mean
She laid the law down with a steadfast hand
I had to listen, ‘cause I was her “little man”

That’s what my Mommy said (That’s what my Mommy said)

“Now don’t go sliding on them newly waxed floors
And don’t be slamming that kitchen door
That pie’s for later, now go wash up your hands
Go call your brother and go wake up your dad”

That’s what my Mommy said (That’s what my Mommy said)

My Mom’s a hundred now and I’m eighty-one
She often scolds me for having “too much fun”
I’ve come to listen without hearing a thing
It might be wrong, but it’s my way of coping

‘Cause I remember when I was half of sixteen
My Mommy seemed to me to really be mean
She laid the law down with a steadfast hand
I had to listen, ‘cause I was her “little man”

That’s what my Mommy said (That’s what my Mommy said)
