Mama’s Boy Lyrics by Ramones

Anthology: Hey Ho Let’s Go

1984

[Intro: Dee Dee Ramone]
1, 2, 3, 4

[Verse 1: Joey Ramone]
Couldn't keep a secret, got a concrete skull
You couldn't shut up, you're an imbecile
You're an ugly dog, there's nothing to gain
You couldn't shut up, you had a bad, bad brain

[Verse 2: Joey]
Couldn't hold your tongue, you were just too young
Like a two-year-old, you told, you told
You were all the same, jellybean brain
Everyone's a secret nerd, everyone's a closet lame

[Chorus: Joey]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy

[Bridge: Dee Dee & Joey]
Uh, uh
Uh, uh

[Verse 3: Joey]
I don't want to work in a hot dog stand
Be a busboy, messenger, or a doorman
It's an abstract world, you're an abstract man
Abstract city don't give a damn

[Verse 1: Joey]
Couldn't keep a secret, got a concrete skull
You couldn't shut up, you're an imbecile
You're an ugly dog, there's nothing to gain
You couldn't shut up, you had a bad, bad brain

[Chorus: Joey]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mama's boy
