Angelique-O, Angelique-O, you mama's got to take you back,

Angelique-O, Angelique-O, teach you all the things you lack

You never got time to sweep the dirt

You mama's got to take you back,

You never got time to wash a shirt,

You mama's got to take you back,

You never got time to cut and peel

You mama's got to take you back,

You think you can make it on sex appeal

You mama's got to take you back,

Mama's got to take you back,

Teach you all the things you lack,

When she sends you back to me

We'll live together in harmony

You never learn how to make a stew

You mama's got to take you back,

Your biscuits, Lord, I can hardly chew,

You mama's got to take you back,

De pants I'm wearing is full of holes

You mama's got to take you back,

While you're runnin' around in a big mink stole,

You mama's got to take you back,

Mama's got to take you back,

Teach you all the things you lack,

When she sends you back to me

We'll live together in harmony
