Mamie

Try my bes' to tell the children the res'

Try my bes' to tell the children, tell them the res'

The res' is to love

Let them love

Let them love

Love within equality

Love within justice

Love within rights

Let them love

Let them love

Let them love themselves

Let them love

Pleases me to see you carry them around

Show dem places, places what they don't know

What they don't know, show dem

Pleases me to see

You taught them the way

Way to love each and ev'ryone

Let them love, now

Let them love

Mamie, mamie

'Cause I'm your part of administration

Ignorance, see

Feelings, feelings are liquid

Feelings, feelings are liquid

That's why I gots to say to you

Hold your stick, mamie, don't you beat

Mamie, mamie, I talk to you

Mamie, I beg you, I beg you

Don't you beat the little children

Don't beat them so hard

Don't beat them so hard, now mamie

Feelings, feelings are liquid

Feel it, feel it, feel it
