Lyrics Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte

Angelique-O

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Your mama got to take you back

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Teach you all the things you lack

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Your mama got to take you back

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Teach you all the things you lack

He never got time to sweep the dirt

Mama got to take you back

He never got time to wash a shirt

Mama got to take you back

He never got time to cut and peel

Mama got to take you back

If think you can make it on sex appeal

Your mama got to take you back

Mama's got to take you back

Teach you all the things you lack

When she sends you back to me

We'll live together in harmony

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Your mama got to take you back

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Teach you all the things you lack

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Your mama got to take you back

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Teach you all the things you lack

He never learnt how to make a stew

Your mama got to take you back

Your biscuits, Lord, I can hardly chew

Mama got to take you back

De pants I'm wearing is full of holes

Your mama got to take you back

While you're runnin' around in a big mink stole

Mama got to take you back

Mama's got to take you back

Teach you all the things you lack

When she sends you back to me

We'll live together in harmony

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Your mama got to take you back

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Teach you all the things you lack

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Your mama got to take you back

Angelique-O, Angelique-O

Teach you all the things you lack
