HOLD TIGHT MAMA Shut down the kitchen, turn the lamps down low It's time for entertainment, putting on a show Act like we're "money", more than we could grow Display the china, like we're rolling in the dough Hide the potatoes, until the guests are gone Pass off the chicken parts, as Pâté de Foie Gras HOLD TIGHT MAMA, and put those checks away No time to pay those bills, 'til we see better days HOLD TIGHT MAMA, sell off your wedding gown No time to pay the rent, your king has lost his crown Some days are happy, other nights are blue Why do we stick together, we haven't got a clue Running from the landlord, in debt to all our friends Some months we make it, then it all starts up again It's rice and butter, 'til Uncle Ben is gone We won't have heat & light, 'til power comes back on HOLD TIGHT MAMA, and put those checks away No time to pay those bills, 'til we see better days HOLD TIGHT MAMA, sell off your wedding gown No time to pay the rent, your king has lost his crown |
