Bobbie Gentry
Mean Stepmama Blues
[Verse 1]
Ooh, stepmama, what do make you so mean?
Mm, stepmama, what do make you so mean?
Why, you're the meanest, spiteful woman
This baby girl has ever seen
[Verse 2]
Mm-mm, stepmama, interceptin' U.S. mail
Caught you, stepmama, interceptin' U.S. mail
And all the time you're rockin' your own boy-child
You're singin' twilight on, on the trail, happy trails
[Verse 3]
Mm-mm-hmm, whup on out that leather strap
Mean stepmama, polish up your leather strap
And beat your poor stepchild senseless
Before you take your beauty nap
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Mm, stepmama, the last laugh's gonna be on you
Oh, oh, stepmama, the last laugh's gonna be on you
'Cause I seen, I seen the Polaroid pictures
Wrote a song called "Mean Stepmama Blues"
[Outro]
Mm-mm
