My mama don't like it
My mama don't like it
My mama don't like it
My mama don't like it

Hip hop, doo-wop
Doomsday fight, the final Friday night
Big bang, doo-lang
Everything's crazy, now the end's in sight

Looks like someone finally lost control
Pushed that panic button to the floor
I hope it don't mess with my pompadour
Baby, give your love to me
Ain't much time as you can see, hey

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
It's my thing

Jump back, beat cat
Honey, I was born to be a superstar
Wow, King Kong, A-bomb
We'll never have time to show them who we are

What's that sound? The planes are overhead
Better hurry now and lock the door
Old James Dean, he just don't live here anymore
Baby, give your love to me, you gotta give it
Ain't much time as you can see, hey

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
It's my thing

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
It's my thing

Yeah, now, baby
Ow, ow

Backyard shelter, party underground
In the morning, no one will be found
In the distance, you won't even hear a sound
Baby, give your love to me, you gotta give it
Ain't much time as you can see, hey

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
It's my thing

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
It's my thing, thing

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
It's my thing

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
Oh, not again
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
It's my thing, yeah, yeah, yeah

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Mama don't like that funkabilly swing
