Your kids don't get to school on time
You don't watch the clock ma
The hair don't curl
and their teeth don't shine
It's all in doctor spock ma
Your man don't feel too good today?
You didn't treat him right ma
If he don't work he gets no pay
You'd better fix him up tonight ma
... you know how
... fix him up good mama
This way that way jump mama jump
That way this way jump mama
... higher mama jump
You don't knit and you won't sew
And you never make the beds ma
You don't bake no jammy cakes
You just go out instead ma
They'll get you mama by your curly hairs
They'll have your guts for garters
And if you don't get back home tonight
... they'll have your tits
... for afters
This way that way jump mama jump
That way this way jump mama
... higher mama jump
Don't stop mama clean them floors
And the baby's bum is wet ma
All spick and span by half past four
You'd better not forget ma
There's love to make
and hearts to mend
Jump just one more time ma
... stay in line there mama
... do as you're told
This way that way jump mama jump
That way this way jump mama
... higher mama jump
... higher mama ... higher mama
... higher mama ... higher mama
... jump
