If You Sheik On Your Mama Mamas Gonna Sheba On You by Edmonia Henderson Lyrics
[Verse]
"Gee whiz! It's ten P.M."
Said Eph to his wife Lill
"I've got to go down to the lodge room, dearie
To meet a brother Bill"
"Who's this brother Bill?" said she
"You've pulled that same old gag on me
Three nights ago
So daddy, I am forced to let you know:
[Chorus]
"Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
That's a saying true
Listen brotha, 'tain't no "ifs" and "an's" and "buts"
Understand me, honey, when I struts, I struts
Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you"
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
"Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
That's a saying true
Understand me, honey, understand me good
Your mama's only human, she ain't made of wood
Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you"
"Gee whiz! It's ten P.M."
Said Eph to his wife Lill
"I've got to go down to the lodge room, dearie
To meet a brother Bill"
"Who's this brother Bill?" said she
"You've pulled that same old gag on me
Three nights ago
So daddy, I am forced to let you know:
[Chorus]
"Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
That's a saying true
Listen brotha, 'tain't no "ifs" and "an's" and "buts"
Understand me, honey, when I struts, I struts
Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you"
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
"Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
That's a saying true
Understand me, honey, understand me good
Your mama's only human, she ain't made of wood
Just remember, if you sheik on your mama
Your mama's gonna sheba on you"
