[Verse 1]
Hello mama, hello mama it's me
How you feeling mama?
Hm-hmm, that's alright
I've got something i want to talk to you about
If you don't mind
And i ain't mad, mama, no, no no no
Wait a minute, listen mama
[Chorus]
Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song, ma
The only thing i could do half right and now it's turning out all wrong, mama
Look what they done to my song
Now listen if you please
[Verse 2]
Wish i could find a good book, i'd like to live in the thing now
Wish i could find a good book, now, hey hey hey
If i could find a real good book, you know i
I'd never have to come out and look
At what they done to my song
[Chorus]
Look what they done to my brain, ma
Look what they done to my brain
Oh mama, it's a shame, you won't believe this, but it's true
They picked it like a chicken bone and i'm-ah, just about to go insane mama
Look what they done to my brain
[Verse 3]
Now girls, if you don't mind, i'd like to hear that some french
Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
(Ooh, not bad)
Ils ont change ma chanson
(Uh-huh. Let me see here {franglish gibberish})
Ills ont change ma chanson
(My french must be pretty bad, i better do this in english)
[Chorus]
Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song ma
Put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside down ma
Look what they done to my song
[Verse 4]
Maybe it's alright
Maybe it's ok, i don't know
But i tell ya
If my tears were money, i'd be a millionaire today
You know, the only thing i get to have right, now it's turning out all wrong, mama
You can't believe what they've done to my song ma, that i wrote myself
They put it in a plastic bag and they turned the bag upside down, mama
Lord, if i could find a good book
I'd never have to come out and look at, uh
What they trying to do to my brain
It's a shame mama, you see they
They done pick it like a chicken bone
And i'm-ah just about to go insane
I'm insane, insane, mama
I'm going crazy, mama, that's what it is
Lord knows i don't care what they done to my song
No, i don't care about that, but see
The main thing, mama
What they trying to do to me
You see, well they stole everything i had, mama
And they made a million with it, and you know that hurts
But oh, i'm gonna keep on working on the building
Just like you taught me, mama
Whoah, yes i will, yes i will, yeah
[Outro]
Whoah mama
Mama.....mama....mama....mama
