When You're Good To Mama

In the style of

Chicago (Broadway Version)

Lyrics

ask any of the chickies
in my pen

they'll tell you
i'm the biggest mother hen

i love them all
and all of them love me

because the system works
the system called

reciprocity

got a little motto

always sees me through

when you're good
to mama

mama's good to you

there's a lot of favors
i'm prepared to do

you do one for mama
she'll do one for you

they say that life
is tit for tat

and that's the way i live

so i deserve
a lot of tat

for what i've got to give

don't you know that this hand

washes that one too

when you're good
to mama

mama's good to you

if you want my gravy
pepper my ragout

spice it up for mama
she'll get hot for you

when they pass that basket
folk contribute to

you put in for mama
she'll put out for you

the folks atop the ladder
are the ones the world adores

so boost me up my ladder, kid
and i'll boost you up yours

let's all stroke together

like the princeton crew

when you're
strokin' mama

mama's strokin' you

so what's
the one conclusion

i can bring
this number to?

when you're good
to mama

mama's good to you
