Mama Don't Want No Peas An' Rice An' Coconut Oil - Jimmy Rushing

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 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 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 she likes the rum, it fills her so with fun

Mama she likes the rum, it fills her so with fun

Mama she likes to have her rum

She says it fills her so with fun

It makes her feel like whoopee all the time!

Mama lay down last night to sleep, she says she’s feeling cold

Mama lay down last night to sleep, she says she’s feeling cold

Mama lay down to sleep, we’re told

Mama was feeling very cold

She says that papa must be getting old!
