Peas and Rice

Mama don't want no peas an' rice an' coconut oil
Mama don't want no peas an' rice an' coconut oil
Mama don't want no peas an' rice
Mama don't want no coconut oil
Just a bottle of brandy handy all the day!

Mama, Mama, Mama she likes the rum

Mama don't want no gin because it would make her sin
Mama don't want no gin because it would make her sin
Mama don't want no glass o'gin
Because it's bound to make her sin
Says it keeps her hot and bothered all the day!

Mama, Mama, Mama she likes the rum

Mama complains she's got a pain across her chest
Mama complains she's got a pain across her chest
Mama complains she's got a pain
And the reason is very plain
And the fruit that papa gave her, it won't digest!

Mama

Mama, Mama, Mama she likes the rum
