Mama, Keep Your Big Mouth Shut Lyrics

Bo Diddley Mama, Keep Your Big Mouth Shut

Hey, mama, keep your big mouth shut,
keep your big mouth shut.
hey, mama, keep your big mouth shut,
keep your big mouth shut.
Your daughter she's old enough to make up her own mind.
she's got sense enough to know, yeh,
wether she wants to be mine.
keep your big mouth shut
keep your big mouth shut.
hey mama, keep your big mouth shut,
keep your big mouth shut.
I'm in love with your little girl,
an' your little girl's in love with me.
you know we're togeter now.
an' oh how happy we could be if you'd
keep your big mouth shut.
hey mama, keep your big mouth shut,
keep your big mouth shut.

You say i'm not good enough to be your daughter's man,
but when trouble comes her way
i'll be right there to hold her hand.
hey mama, keep your big mouth shut,
keep your big mouth shut.
Your daughter, she knows what she wants,
an' she's got what she knows about,
the way that she loves me, ouch, jus'
knocks me out.
keep your big mouth shut,
keep your big mouth shut.
Hey mama, keep your big mouth shut,
keep your big mouth shut.
[spoken] get our coat an' hat,
now go on home an' leave us alone.
