When my mama said to me
Keep on singing my child
Keep yourself on the stage
Keep away
Keep away from the friends

Something in this world
When I was young my mama said
When I was young my mama said
Keep on singing my child
When I was young my mama said
When I was young my mama said
Keep on singing my child
La la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la
And I did
I did listen to my mama
And I believe
'Cause it happened to me
When I was young my mama said
When I was young my mama said
Keep on singing my child
When I was young my mama said
When I was young my mama said
Keep on singing my child
When I was young my mama said
When I was young my mama said
