No Man's Mama - Ethel Waters[00:00:00]
You may wonder what's the reason[00:00:10]
For this great big smile[00:00:14]
Say I haven't been so happy[00:00:18]
In the longest while[00:00:22]
Got a big load off my mind[00:00:26]
Here's the papers sealed and signed[00:00:30]
And the judge was nice and kind[00:00:34]
All through the trial[00:00:38]
This ends the five-year war[00:00:42]
I'm sweet Miss Waters once more[00:00:46]
I can come when I please I can go when I please[00:00:50]
I can flit fly and flutter like the birds in the trees[00:00:54]
Because I'm no man's mamma now[00:00:59]
Hey hey[00:01:05]
I can say what I like I can do what I like[00:01:07]
I'm a gal who is on a matrimonial strike[00:01:11]
Which means I'm no man's mamma now[00:01:16]
I'm screamin'[00:01:23]
"There I know how[00:01:24]
A fella feels gettin' out of jail"[00:01:28]
I've got twin beds[00:01:33]
But I take pleasure in announcin' one's for sale[00:01:36]
Am I makin' it plain I will never again[00:01:41]
Drag around another ball and chain[00:01:45]
I'm through[00:01:49]
Because I'm no man's mamma now[00:01:51]
I can smile I can wink I can go take a drink[00:01:58]
And I don't have to worry what my hubby will think[00:02:02]
Because I'm no man's mamma now[00:02:06]
Get it fixed[00:02:12]
I can spend if I choose I can play and sing the blues[00:02:14]
There's nobody messing with my ones and my twos[00:02:19]
Because I'm no man's mamma now[00:02:24]
You know that there was a time[00:02:31]
I used to think that men were grand[00:02:36]
But no more for mine[00:02:40]
I've gone and labeled my apartment[00:02:44]
"No Man's Land"[00:02:47]
I got rid of my cat 'cause my cat's name was Pat[00:02:49]
Won't even have a mailbox in my flat[00:02:53]
Because I'm no man's mamma now[00:02:58]
