Mammy Mammy Blues 

from HALF​-​WAY by Adam Murphy

/

lyrics

-Mammy Mammy Mammy, more more more
-Sorry silly baby it's all gone
-Mammy Mammy Mammy, so make me more
-Sorry little man it'll take too long for you

Who cooked and ate your golden goose
Before it had time to reproduce

-Mammy Mammy Mammy me tummy's sore
-I know but little baby there's no more in the store
-I went down to the market but there was nothing on the stalls
Flashed my wads of money they said "try it with a pinch of salt"

They said "you'll have to wait now
Till new things grow"
-How long will that take
"An eon or so"

You heard the words of wisdom
But you didn't listen
It's easier to believe
What you want to be true

-Mammy Mammy Mammy I have a hunger pain
-Where's all that stuff I gave you -oh I threw it down the drain
'Cos Mam it came so easy I didn't need to care
And all those miserable wretches were way over there
So Mammy Mammy Mammy I threw it in the ground
I should've stuck my head in with it as I didn't care to look around

-You refused to listen
Resented words of wisdom
Chose to believe
What made you feel good now it's all gone bad
