Lyrics

Mama say (mama say)
Son, I ain't got no food today
Tit-for-tat, butter for fish
There's a little porridge in the dish
Mama say (mama say)
Son, you've got to stay home today
There's a hole in the roof
You've got to make it waterproof
Son, daddy left you were from you were four
I've got to struggle 'cause I am poor
She said, food is a very hard thing to find
Sometime I feel like I'm going out of my mind
Mama say (mama say)
Son, today look like a rainy day
But the food I ain't got enough
Rain a fall but dutty tough
Mama say (mama say)
Son, I ain't got no food today
Tit-for-tat, butter for fish
Is a little porridge in the dish
Daddy left you from you were four, yeah
I've got to struggle, I am poor, poor
To find food, and it's so hard that time
I feel like son I'm going out of my mind
Mama say (mama say)
Mama say
Mama
Mama say
Mama say (mama say)
Son, I ain't got no food today
Tit-for-tat, butter for fish
Is a little porridge in the dish
Mama say (mama say)
You can't leave the house today
There's a hole up in the roof
You've got to make it waterproof
Mama say (mama say)
