Mama Don't You Think I Know

Got a knock‑kneed mama : down in Tennessee

She's short and squatty : she's all right with me

Now knock‑kneed mama : what you going to cook tonight

Whatever you cook : just cook it right

You got a face like a washboard : and a mouth like a tub

Teach my mama : that washboard rub

Now some people say : chitlings are good to eat

I'll never eat chitlings : long as hog got feet

Takes a long‑tailed monkey : a short‑tailed dog

To do that dance : they call the falling off the log

Now the monkey told the elephant : if he's not drunk

I know you're sober : you got the tail in front

Now the monkey told the elephant : you may be drinking

wine

You can't switch your tail : like I switch mine
