Mean Mama - Marty Robbins

Love knocks once and never later

Slicker than an alligator

Hotter than a red hot 'tater

Dog-gone it, baby, I’m in love

Love’s a bug that up and bit me

I don’t know or care what hit me

I’ll be yours if you permit me

Dog-gone it, baby, I’m in love

Love is like atomic bomb

Works like the same effect

The heart it hits is blown to bits

And what else could you expect

Love can make a fellar dizzy

Throw him plumb into a tizzy

Even keep a loafer busy

Dog-gone it, baby, I’m in love

Love can tame the wildest rover

Hits you hard and bowls you over

Makes you happy as a cow in clover

Dog-gone it, baby, I’m in love

Mustard cutting stage or older

Eskimo’s are even colder

Warms you up and makes you bolder

Dog-gone it baby I’m in love

Gophers go for other gophers

Honey temps the bee

Mouse or man it’s nature’s plan

And it’s getting the best of me

You’re the cause you gorgeous creature

Let’s make this a double feature

And I’ll go and fetch the preacher

Dog-gone it, baby, I’m in love
