Nellie McKay - Mama & Me lyrics

"Awww,

I don't wanna,

I don't wanna be here"

"shh its alright darling

What do you want?"

"I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna pony pony"

It's just my mama and me

And though I know it may be

Hard to be mama and me

But we've got time time time

With my mom by my side

I know i'll always survive

We'll never give up the fight

Cause we got time time time time

I didn't wanna go

So far from home

But it was time you know

Children got to roam

But now I need her so

She's my maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhhhhhhhhhm

There's alotta things that i'm proud of in this world

I got a pinch of shirley chisholm and a sprinkle of "that girl"

Are you looking at me?

Cause there's no one else here

I'm a legally blonde three... cursed with big hair

And now the greatest way to world? It's time to give credit

To the person who's the limit, although she's never said it

To whom I am indebted, who cuts the final edit

She's my mamamamamama and I want you all to get it

It's just my mama and me

And though I know it may be

Hard to be mama and me

But we've got time time time

With my mom by my side

I know i'll always do right

We'll never give up the fight

Cause we got time time time time

So hold on, hold tight

This meeting's adjourned

For people with degrees,

You got a lot to learn

We've been earnin' jackshit man

Feelin the burn

Lost the girdle, jump the hurdle, so now it's our turn

See i've been livin with my mama since I was an embryo

Never had nintendo saw alotta brecht though

I only knew new since jewel went techno

You think i'm gonna listen and write you a check

No!

I was so small, barely big enough to crawl

When mother would call me as I stalled by the wall

In the daycare I was placed in while she's making low wages

My crayons tracing those crazy sad faces

And I tasted my soul all those coals in the mountains

Moving awfully slow??

Scolding me when i'm lonely

And waiting for mama to unfold me

And hold me

She told me "we're gonna be ok"

It's just my mama and me

And though I know it may be

Hard to be mama and me

But we've got time time time

With my mom by my side

I know i'll always do right

We'll never give up the fight

Cause we got time time time time

I think back to those days that make's me so mad

?? Chasm she had to collapse

I'm an educated woman, but I wanna attack

Wanna slap my granny, wanna whack my dad

Where were you when we were at the welfare office?

The atmosphere's toxic, the clerks are obnoxious, the kids are selling chocolate chomping their losses

Can't even charge the clothes?

Or play with oshbagosh boxes

Those bruises, short fuses, with bad guys with black eyes

The losin, the oozin, the blood down your right thigh

The wantin to die with your nose broken, heart chokin

Hitchin a ride with a chain smokin, plain spoken jim

Who's gonna drive you as far as he can

But he ain't got the rent and you ain't got a man

"what now mama? Tell me you got a plan."

"we're gonna make little darling with a government grant."

It's just my mama and me

And though I know it may be

Hard to be mama and me

But we've got time time time

With my mom by my side

I know i'll always survive

We'll never give up the fight

Cause we got time time time time

I didn't wanna go

So far from home

But it was time you know

Mom needs time alone

But now I need her so

She's my maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhhhhhhhhh

"I hate you mother! Leave me aloooooooooooone!!"

"I love you mommy I love you mommy I love you mommy I love you mommy"

[Crying]

"I want a suicide pill. Get me a suicide pill mommy!"

"I wanna die with you I wanna die with you"

"You bitch! Get me a suicide pill!"
