[Joan Armatrading - Mama Papa lyrics]

I was born on an Island st kitts
In a little biddy town had a mama and a papa
Four brothers and a sister

Mama papa told us play hard
Fight fair live life
And love the Lord i said love the Lord
Said love the Lord their choice was
The United Kingdom living in Birmingham
When they wanted to spread their wings
And fly away

Seven people in one room no heat
One wage and bills to pay
I said bills to pay gotta pay those bills

Now when you're walking on heaven's floor
Talking in the ear of God
What you gonna say to the man
When he asks you what you've done

Can you say you did your very best
With what you had like my mama and my papa

I know two people who served up love
And a whole lot more
They made us hold our sides
With laughter all night long
Oh they made us laugh until we cried
Till we begged them stop
Or we'll split our sides
Now when you're walking on heaven's floor
Talking in the ear of God
What you gonna say to the man
When he asks you what you've done

Can you say you did your very best
With what you had like my mama and my papa
