Squirrel Nut Zippers - Use What Mama Gave You lyrics
[Squirrel Nut Zippers - Use What Mama Gave You lyrics]
Manhandled and abused
Seems like every time I turn around
A friend is gone another chance blown
Oh, I get so confused
Someone's giving me the runaround
I pick myself up
I'm not gonna let them spoil my hand
No, I'm gonna follow the lead
Of the old queens of Bourbon Street
They used to tell me: Cella, honey
You've got to use what mama gave you
Just like Gypsy Rose Lee
Shake what mama gave you
Take this advice from me
We're gonna kick down the chairs
And knock out the lights raise the roof
And hit your dance tonight
Use what mama gave you
Just like Gypsy Rose Lee
Shake what mama gave you
Take this advice from me
Well use a little bit of these
And a whole lot of that show everybody
Where you've a real career, oh honey
Use what mama gave you
Just like Gypsy Rose Lee
Shake what mama gave you
Take this advice from me
Well, I made a million dollars
And every dime I've spent
Well honey, I was on the red carpet
When paparazzi were invented
Use what mama gave you
Oh yeah, use what mama gave you
I said, use what mama gave you
Just like Gypsy Rose Lee!
Oh yeah but don't be so mean
That's it baby, whoo!
