Mama Said
Lukas Graham
Mama said that it was EbokayB
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the Gmnight
and it was okayF
Mama said that we were Ebgood kidsB
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good Fkids
Remember asking both my Gmmom and dad
Why we Ebnever travel to Bexotic lands
We only ever really visit Gmfriends
Nothing to Ebtell when the Bsummer ends
We never really went Gmbuying clothes
'cause Ebfolks were passing on the stuff in Bplenty loads
New shoes once a Gmyear and then
Out to Ebplay ball so we Bcould ruin them
When mama said that it was EbokayB
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the nighGmt
and it was Fokay
Mama told us we were Ebgood kidBs
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good kidFs
Don't get me wrong, I didn't Gmhave it bad
I got enough Ebloving from my Bmom and dad
But I don't think they really Gmunderstood
When I said that I Ebwanted to deal in BHollywood
I told 'em I'd be singing Gmon tv
The other kids Ebwere callin' Bme a wannabe
The older kids they started Gmbugging me
But now they're all Ebstanding right in Bfront of me
When mama said that it was EbokayB
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the nighGmt
and it was Fokay
Mama told us we were Ebgood kidBs
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good kidFs
GmI know which Cplace im from
EbI know my Bhome
GmWhen Im in Cdoubt and struggling
Ebthats wheBre I'll go
An old Gmfriend can give Cadvice
when new Ebfriends only know the half Bstory
That's why I Gmalways keep 'em tighCt
And while you're Ebokay
I said I'm Dokay
(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)
When mama said that it was EbokayB
Mama said that it was Dm7quite alrightGm
Our kinda people had a Dm7bed for the nighGmt
and it was Fokay
Mama told us we were Ebgood kidBs
and daddy told us never Dm7listen to the onesGm
pointing nasty Dm7fingers and making funGm
'cause we were good kidFs
