When I was a boy
just abouth the eightth-a grade
Mama used to say: "Don't stay out-a late
With the bad-a boys
always shoot-a pool
Giuseppe going to flunk-a school!"
Boy
it make-a me sick
all the t'ing I gotta do
I can't-a get-a no kicks
always got to follow rules
Boy
it make-a me sick
just to make-a lousy bucks
Got to feel-a like a fool
And-a mama used to say all-a time:
What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect
What-a you t'ink you do? Why you look-a so sad?
It's-a not so bad
it's-a nice-a place
Ah

That's-a my mama. I can remember!
Big accordion solo!
Ah ! Play dat again! Really nice

Soon-a come-a day
gonna be a big-a star
Den I make-a T.V. shows and-a movies
Get-a myself a new car
but still I be myself
I don't want-a to change a t'ing
Still a-dance and a-sing
[ t'ing about-a mama

What's-a matter you? Hey! . . .
Mama

Gotta no respect
