Mama’s Children Songtext
von Carl Perkins

There was an old woman that lived in a shoe
Had so many children, she didn′t know what to do
They were doin' alright, till she took ′em to town
The kids started pickin' 'em up and puttin′ ′em down

Now all your children wanna rock, mama
All your children wants to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock, ow! Now do it!

Well, we're not tryin′ to live too fast
But we might as well try to live in class
We better move out before the rent comes due
'Cause we wanna live in a blue suede shoe


All your children want to rock, mama
All your children wants to roll
We wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock, now let′s go!

Well, every night when it's quiet and still
You can hear it echoing through the hill
Through a blue suede shoe on a mountain top
All of mama′s youngins are doin' the bop

All them children wanna rock, mama
All your children want to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock, rock, go! Hey, let's rock it

Well, all your children wanna rock, mama
All your children wanna roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop
All them children wants to rock
