Mama Was a Rock and Roll Singer Lyrics

Oh, mama was a rock and roll singer
Yeah, papa used to write all her songs
Well, you could hear their music playing on the jukebox all day long

Oh, they were bringing down together, yes, yes in a jukebox jubilee
Till one day, one day, my daddy sang alone
Oh, and he sang his song just for me, good God

You think you're just a fox and that's all you got to be
Oh, well you might be a fox but that ain't enough for me
You're rocking everybody in town 'cause you jacking me around

Foxy lady shinning on, I hope you miss me when I'm gone
'Cause foxy lady gone is where I'm gonna be

You're super fine and you blow people's mind I know
But will you pardon me please if I don't stick around for your show?
You got everybody chasing your tail, they even let you put them in jail

Foxy lady shinning on, I hope you miss me when I'm gone
'Cause foxy lady gone is where I'm gonna be

Ah, damn you girl, you went and messed up the world with hands
And what I'm trying to say in my own sweet way is I'm mad
You got everybody singing your tune but you're flying on a crazy balloon
Foxy lady shinning on, I hope you miss me when I'm gone
'Cause foxy lady gone is where I'm gonna be

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
