"Quit making that face"
Mama would say,
"It's gonna get stuck
and stay that way"

"Now eat your peas,
like you've got some sense,
"Go brush your teeth
and make sure you rinse"

"Close that door,
was you raised in a barn?
"I heard what you said,
you better mean ****"

"Do as I say,
and not as I do,
"Go comb your hair,
what's wrong with you?"

Well, forty years later,
I'm as ugly as sin
Not a tooth in my head,
with peas on my chin

I cuss like a sailor,
my house is a dump
No hair on my head,
like a bald Forest Gump

I could have been normal,
but I chose this instead
Just because I didn't listen,
to what my Mama said
