My Mama Didn't Raise No Fools

(Bob Logan - Charles Snoddy)



My mama didn't raise no fools

No, mama didn't raise no fools

You didn't give me credit but it's time you knew

My mama didn't raise no fools.



You know back alleys like an old tomcat

You know I ain't a puttin' up with that

You broke your neck breakin' all the rules

My mama didn't raise no fools.



You got a stock full of tricks you're a sly ole pup

But I learned your tricks through the spool of hard knots

Here's your walkin' paper and there's your shoes

My mama didn't raise no fools.



My mama didn't raise no fools

No, mama didn't raise no fools

I'm gettin' my kicks kickin' you know who

My mama didn't raise no fools.



Slip around like a sneak in the grass

You should've known that it couldn't last

Don't try to crawl back cause that won't do

My mama didn't raise no fools.



You come in late a tellin' me lies

But you can't pull a wool over these two eyes

I got enough sense to add two and two

My mama didn't raise no fools.



My mama didn't raise no fools

No, mama didn't raise no fools

The dumbest of 'em all is smather than you

My mama didn't raise no fools.



(Huh, huh, honey my mama she ain't raised no fools around her house

Let me tell you she raised a bunch of smart youngones

And I was the smartest one of 'em

And don't you forget it honey the dumbest of 'em all

Was smarter than you baby...)
