Bootsey Whitelaw

Mama died when I was born

So all I ever knew was my mom

I tell you that I, I never ever went to school

My mama told me all about street rules

Mama told me everything about

Not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw



He was tall, big and tan

I tell you he was a hell of a good looking thing

Between his eyes he had two frown

He never laugh or play around

Mama told me everything about

But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw



Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Mama told me everything about

But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw



He lived way up across town

Women love him, bop around

Ooh, I loved him right from the start

I didn't even care if he broke my heart

Mama told me everything about

But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw



Sing along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Sing along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Mama told me everything about

But not about Bootsey Whitelaw



I beg and pose along

'Cause I want him more this time

Nobody promised me all along

He told me that he could never be bad along

And so I smiled mama, what can I do'

Well, she told me she love Mr. Bootsey too



Bop along, bop along, all along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Mama told me everything about

But not about Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw



[Incomprehensible], bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Bop along, bop along, bop along, Mr. Bootsey Whitelaw

Mama told me everything

But not about Bootsey Whitelaw
