Hey-hey, mama
I dream about you night and day
Hey-hey, mama
I dream about you night and day
I'm gon' take you home with me
And do my best to make you stay

I will treat you nice an kind
Handle you just like a little toy
I will treat you nice an kind, mama
Handle you just like a little toy
I will get anything you want, mama
If I can be yo' flunky boy

Sweet, sweet mama
You can make a fool outta me
Sweet, sweet mama
You can make a fool outta me
You can put rocks in my pillow
And salt in my tea

(harmonica & instrumental)

'Blow that thing, boy, blow it!'

You don't have to cook me no chicken
Just plain old neckbones will do
You don't have to cook no chicken, mama
Just plain old neckbones will do
I'm gon' buy some black-eyed peas
Just to try to get along with you

You don't have to be sweet
And kind to me all the time
You don't have to be sweet, mama
And kind to me all the time
Just treat me nice an kind, mama
And you will satisfy my mind.
