[Verse 1]
I'm jittery jumpin' like a scratch-less itch
Like a tail on a tomcat beginning to twitch
I need some sweet silence filling up my head
I need to spend some more time tangled up in my bed
Burning up both ends of my wick
Started running while the bomb still ticks
You better hurry up and get out quick

[Chorus]
When the Mama go loco
When the Mama go loco
Pack your bags and hit the road, Joe
Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick pow
The Mama gone loco

[Verse 2]
My pulse is poppin' with a fevered heat
I got the black cat voodoo with a jungle beat
My body shaking and my hair gone wild
I wanna throw down on the floor like a screamin' child
Seeing red, but it don't mean stop
This firecracker 'bout to pop
You better bail before I blow my top

[Chorus]
When the Mama go loco
When the Mama go loco
You better get out, better go, go
Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick pow
The Mama gone loco
[Chorus]
When the Mama go loco
When the Mama go loco
Stick around here? No, no, no
Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick

[Chorus]
When the Mama go loco
When the Mama go loco
You better get out, better go, go
Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick pow
The Mama gone loco
