They tell me he's a menace to man, this boy of mine
They say they're gonna take him away
make him tow the line
Don't take him away, don't take him away
A handsome and intelligent child, he's nobody's fool
They showed him round the chemistry lab
and later lost the school
Don't take him away, don't take him away

'Cause he's a momma's boy, always been good to his
Momma that boy has always been good, cause
He's a momma's boy, always been good to his
Momma that boy, he never does what he should
We say momma!
It's almost like holiday camp, if you're nice to me
I'm what they call your commandant, I'm here to please

Leave him with me, leave him with me
'Cause he's a momma's boy, always been good to his
Momma that boy has always been good, 'cause
He's a momma's boy, always been good to his
Momma that boy, he never does what he should
We say momma!
