CAROLINA CHOCOLATE DROPS
"No Man's Mama"
(Lew Pollack / Jack Yellen)

You may wonder what's the reason
For this great big smile;
Say, I haven't been so happy
You may wonder what's the reason
For this great big smile;
Say, I haven't been so happy
In the longest while!
Got a big load off my mind
Here's the papers, sealed and signed;
And the judge was nice and kind
All through the trial
This ends the five-year war
I'm sweet Miss Waters once more!

I can come when I please, I can go when I please
I can flit, fly and flutter like the birds in the trees
Because I'm no man's mamma now!
Hey, hey!

I can say what I like, I can do what I like
I'm a gal who is on a matrimonial strike;
Which means, I'm no man's mamma now!

I'm screamin', "There, I know how
A fella feels gettin' out of jail,"
I've got twin beds
But I take pleasure in announcin' one's for sale!

Am I makin' it plain? I will never again
Drag around another ball and chain!
I'm through
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!

I can smile, I can wink, I can go take a drink
And I don't have to worry what my hubby will think!
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!
Get it fixed!

I can spend if I choose, I can play and sing the blues
There's nobody messing with my ones and my twos
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!

You know that there was a time
I used to think that men were grand
But no more for mine
I've gone and labeled my apartment
"No Man's Land!"

I got rid of my cat, 'cause my cat's name was Pat
Won't even have a mailbox in my flat!
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!
