When mama said [Ab] that I was gay
[Bb] Mama said [Dm] that it was fine
All [Gm] the people [Dm] had it
[Gm]
[F] Mama told [Eb] us we were good kids
[Bb] And daddy told [Dm] us never listen to [Gm] the ones
[Dm] Grunty has to be with some American [Gm] fun
Cause we were good [F] kids
[G] Remember asking both my mom [Gm] and dad
Why [A] we never travel [Bb] to exotic lands
We only ever [Gm] really visit France
And [A] up into [Bb] there when the summer ends
We never really [Gm] went buying clothes
[Eb] Folks were passing on the [Bb] stuff in plenty loads
New shoes [Gm] once the evening
Out [A] to play ball [Bb] so we could ruin them
[Eb] Mama said that it was okay
[Bb] Mama said [Dm] that it was quite [Gm] alright
All kind of people [Dm] had a bad night
[Gm] And it was [F] okay
Mama told us [Eb] we were good kids
[Bb] And daddy told [Dm] us never listen to [Gm] the ones
Grunty [Dm] has to be with some American [Gm] fun
Cause we were good [F] kids
Don't [G] get me wrong I didn't have it bad
I got [A] enough loving [Bb] from my mom and dad
But I don't think they [Gm] really understood
When I said that [A] I wanted a [Bb] deal in Hollywood
I told them I'd be [Gm] singing on TV
[Eb] The other kids were calling [Bb] me a wannabe
The older kids they [Gm] started bugging me
But now [A] they're all standing [Bb] right in front of [Eb] me
Mama said that it was okay
[Bb] Mama said that [Dm] it was quite [Gm] alright

[Ebm] [Gm] I know [C] which place I'm from
[Eb] I know [Bb] my home
[Gm] When I'm [C] in doubt and struggling
[Eb] [Bb] That's where I go
An [Gm] old friend can give [C] advice
When [Eb] new friends only know a [Bb] half story
That's [Gm] why I always keep them [C] tight
And why I'm [Eb] okay
I said I'm [D] okay
