Main vocal: Squiggy; ~: Lenny

If only I'd've listened to mama
She told me this would happen to me sooner or later
If only I'd've listened to mama
Then everything would be alright
~~Everything would be alright

She said you better wear your rubbers
Or you're gonna catch your death
Keep your eye on what you're eatin'
And do som'en about your breath
Treat a lady like a woman
Treat a woman like a man
~~But I was only 7 & I didn't understand

~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~She told me this would happen to me sooner or later
~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~Then everything would be alright
~~Everything would be alright

~She said you're runnin' with the crowd
~And it's gonna turn ya bad
~Turn ya into pickin' pockets
~On the corner like your dad
~I told her she was crazy
~I was smarter than the fuzz
~~But 30 days in prison showed how right my mama was

~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~She told me this would happen to me sooner or later
~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~Then everything would be alright
~~Everything would be alright

~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~She told me this would happen to me sooner or later
~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~Then everything would be alright
~~Everything would be alright

She said you better learn a trade
Never make it on your looks
Take a job near a college
Maybe swipe a few books
But I didn't pay attention
And I didn't take heed
Now they're holdin' up a contract
Askin' me to read

~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~She told me this would happen to me sooner or later
~~If only I'd've listened to mama
~~Then everything would be alright
~~Everything would be alright
~~Everything would be alright!
