HELLO MAMA, HOW YOU BEEN?
DON'T STAND IN THE DOORWAY,
WON'T YOU COME ON IN.
NOW I WROTE YOU A LETTER 'BOUT A MONTH AGO,
BUT I GOT IT ON BACK IN A WEEK OR SO.
THE WRITING ON THE LETTER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND,
ANYONE NAMED MAMA LIVIN' DOWN THE LINE.

HELLO MAMA, WELL YOU SURE ARE LOOKIN' FINE.
SIT DOWN AND RELAX, 
(AND I'LL POUR YOU A GLASS OF WINE)
WITH SOME TALK AND A GLASS OF WINE.
NOW YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE.
A WOMAN WHO COULD EVER TAME THE LIKES OF ME.
I HOPE THAT YOU CAN STAY ALL NIGHT AND MAKE ME SMILE.
I HAVEN'T FELT THIS GROOVY IN A LONG, LONG WHILE.

HELLO MAMA, WELL YOU SURE ARE A FRIEND OF MINE,
THIS LIVIN' ALONE HERE,
NOW YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BREAK MY MIND,
I KNOW THAT I CAN'T STOP YOU IF YOU WANT TO GO,
BUT THERE ARE JUST A FEW THINGS THAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.
IF YOU LEAVE AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE TO LEAVE FOR GOOD.
'CAUSE I AIN'T WAITIN' FOR YOU, THOUGH YOU THINK I SHOULD.
