Davy Jones - About Mum…Is You Is or Is You Ain't? lyrics
[Davy Jones - About Mum…Is You Is or Is You Ain't? lyrics]
Hey, you know something? I gotta
Tell you you know, when
I first started out in-in England
In entertainment, it was
It was because my sisters used to
Run the youth club at the church
And my mum used to play the
Organ at the church, and then it
Came, sort of summer time, we did all
The shows, and my sisters sort of were in it
And I was in it, and my mum played the piano
And it was kind of, kind of down
Home stuff, you know
It was no other kind of
Activities that we were
Able to, to do when we were
Little kids in England you know
This is back in the late
Fifties and early sixties and
Stuff, and I, it wasn’t until
My mum died in 1960, and I
Was fourteen years old, and I
That’s when I left home, ’cause I
Couldn’t, I couldn’t deal with that, but um
My sisters presented me with
Some records a little time back
That were my mum’s records
And I had no idea that she
Used to like that kind
Of music, and I guess it was
Forties, fifties, or before that
Swing music, and so, I thought
Maybe um, as um, as we’ve got one expectant
Mother at least out
There tonight, Gregory over there
See Gregory he over there on the end
The saxophone
Player, the saxophonist way back there
Yeah his wife, his wife is going to
Going to have a baby you’re
Going to say just one
Big hello and tell her how much you love her
Gregory: Hello Katerina, I love you
Davy: That’s what happened when they met
And this is what’s happening
Now you know? She’s eight months
Pregnant ha ha right so
I’m going to dedicate this to Katerina and
All the other mothers in the audience
Now I’ve got a girl who is always late
Every time we have a date but, I love her
Yes, I love her, yeah
I’m gonna go up to her gate
And see if I can’t get it straight
Because I want her yes, I want her, yeah
Davy: Don’t blow it, they want more money
Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
The way you’re actin’ lately makes me doubt
Now you is my baby, baby
It seems the fire in your
Heart don’t burn out
A woman is a creature who
Has always been strange
Just when you’re sure of one thing
She goes and makes a change, yeah
Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
Or has my baby found somebody new?
Or is my baby still my baby true?
Now is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
The way you’re actin’ lately makes me doubt
Now you is my baby, baby
It seems the fire in your
Heart don’t burn out
A woman is a creature who
Has always been strange
Just when you’re sure of one thing
She goes and makes a change, yeah
Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
Or has my baby found somebody new?
Or is my baby still my baby true? Yeah
A woman is a creature who
Has always been strange
Just when you’re sure of one thing
She goes and makes a change, yeah
Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
Or has my baby found somebody new?
Or is my Hey! The horns, too!
A woman is a creature who
Has always been strange
Just when you’re sure of one thing
She goes and makes a change, yeah
Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
Or has my baby found somebody new?
Or is my baby still my baby true? Dah dah doo
Or is my baby still my baby
True? I’m talking to you
Or is my baby still my baby true? Yeah
Woo! Listen, this is my favorite Monkees
Song if you don’t like it
You don’t like apple pie
Tell you you know, when
I first started out in-in England
In entertainment, it was
It was because my sisters used to
