Mama died when I was born
|
So all I ever knew was my mom
|
I tell you that I, I never ever went to school
|
My mama told me all about street rules
|
Mama told me everything about
|
Not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
|
He was tall, big and tan
|
I tell you he was a hell of a good looking thing
|
Between his eyes he had two frown
|
He never laugh or play around
|
Mama told me everything about
|
But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
|
Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Mama told me everything about
|
But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
|
He lived way up across town
|
Women love him, bop around
|
Ooh, I loved him right from the start
|
I didn't even care if he broke my heart
|
Mama told me everything about
|
But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
|
Sing along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Sing along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Mama told me everything about
|
But not about Bootsey Whitelaw
|
|
I beg and pose along
|
'Cause I want him more this time
|
Nobody promised me all along
|
He told me that he could never be bad along
|
And so I smiled mama, what can I do?
|
Well, she told me she love Mr. Bootsey too
|
|
Bop along, bop along, all along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Mama told me everything about
|
But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
|
[?], bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw
|
Mama told me everything
|
But not about Bootsey Whitelaw
|
