Lyrics:

Ow, yeah
How
Ah yeah
Wooh

Empty pockets never stopped me from singing a blue streak, no
And I don't think the devil's ever gonna give me back
I don't think so

And stayin' 'round here takes patience
It's like a full time occupation
I've become a diplomaniac
Yes I did, baby!

Hey mean old gal
You know the crosstown bus just rolled
Yeah I'm the same old number
But we still got time to go

Oh, I say mama living ain't a luxury, no
Oh, I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
No it ain't, no it ain't baby

Yeah I'm believing that you needin' your relaxation, whoa
But honey tell me can you tell that story twice?
I don't think so, mama

'Cause there's a function at the junction
Think ya better get it all ready girl
See I was born without a silver spoon
But I'm gonna make a stir, yes I am

Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle one summer break, oh
Then I kissed her on her daddy's boat and shot accross the lake
And was singin', babe

Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury, no
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me, no
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury, no
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
No it ain't baby, no it ain't!

Mmmm, said a little ain't enough, baby
Baby, please
Little ain't enough, aw yeah

Heh, heh
Wooh

Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle one summer break
Same summer that I kissed her on her daddy's boat
And shot across the lake
Yeah!

Oh I say mama, say living ain't a luxury, oh
Oh I say mama, that's a lil' ain't enough for me, oh
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
(Oh I say mama) Say, say a lil' ain't enough
A lil' ain't enough for me, oh
