Slade - Did Your Mama Ever Tell You lyrics

Are you sitting comfortably?

Good! Then we'll begin... (spoken)

There was a crooked man

And he walked a crooked mile

He had a crooked stick

And oh boy how it cramped his stily

Well did ya mamma ever tell ya

Them kookie little nurs 'ry rhymes

Jack and Jill went up the hill

Supposed to get some water

They stayed up there a long time

Doing what they shouldn't ought-a

Chorus

Did ya mamma ever tell ya

Them funky little nurs' ry rhymes.

And when you got a little older

Did you learn to read between the lines

What did ya mamma ever tell ya

'bout the A's and B's and C's

Did she ever tell ya

'bout the birds and the bees.

S'ay mamma ever tell ya

You were brought by the stork

And how you could run before you could walk?

Mary had a little lamb, his feet we're black as coal

He even followed her to bed

The naughty little soul did ya

Mamma ever tell ya

Them kookie little nurs'ry rhymes

Little Jackie Horner sitting quite in his corner

How'd he get that name

Doing what he shouldn't ought-a

Chorus

R E P E A T

Solo

How about that oldie lady who was living in a shoe

She had so many children

She knew how and what to do - oh

Chorus

R E P E A T

How you could run, how you could run,

How you could run before you could walk yeah !
