MAMA'S LITTLE JEWEL

(Hank Mills - Kermit Barrett)

« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »

You're the meanest woman in this world and that takes centre plenty

You take my pay check off to town and don't bring home a penny

Your mama says that you're a queen and should be on a thrown

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home

When I found you I thought I'd found a diamond in a rough

I diamonds what you should be cause I bought you enough

Today you give the dog a steak and then pitched me the bone

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home

Some woman staggered through the door and woke me up at two

She handed me her ID card and by George it was you

At baseball game you drink the beer and then hand me the phone

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home

Now Jessie Fell was a pussycat compared to the life to you

At least she didn't slip around and do the things you do

Webster says that a little jewel should belong to one alone

So we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home

Yeah we gonna pack up all your junk and sent mama's little jewel home
