lyrics

Momma’g gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend
Momma’g gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend


And now she’s finally happy
And now she’s finally happy
And now she’s finally happy
And now she’s finally happy


Late one night
I can hear them creepin’
Down the stairs
Out’da back door
Into his car
And off into the night
he drove and in comes my mama
actin’ like a shiny bald head
tryin’ and fittin’ into clothes
she could never fit into before
but all I know is dat his name is Larry
got two jobs, and he talks like Barry
and if I had a cristal baqll
I can see into the future
and tell’ya how long it’s gonna last

Momma’g gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend
Momma’g gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend

Look at my mama, with her baaaad self

Oh, happy day

And now she’s finally happy
Oh happy day


Momma’g gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend
Momma’g gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend

And now she’s finally happy
And now she’s finally happy
And now she’s finally happy
And now she’s finally happy

Ring, ring goes the telephone
It’s my daddy actin’ like 411
but I don’t hate the man
remember the time when he
Use to get down on his knees and
Play Barbie with me. But the man
had a temper, like some cold Chicago winter
and when he got mad, it was really bad
and we all got snowed on; now my mama’s gotta
new boyfriend, yeh, yeh, yeh

Momma’g gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend
Momma’s gotta new boyfriend
And now she’s finally happy
Oh, happy day

Getting her hair fixed
Getting her nails done
Got a new dress on
Got a new attitude, oh yea
Yeah she’s finally happy now, now

Oh, happy day
Oh, happy day
Oh, happy day

Marvin Tate's D-Settlement image

Marvin Tate's D-Settlement Chicago, Illinois

D-Settlement were Chicago’s best-kept secret: a trailblazing, diverse band mixing R&B, soul, punk, gospel and funk with biting wit and political commentary. Led by Marvin Tate — a poet, artist, playwright and raconteur who wore pipe cleaners in his hair — and supported by a large, dynamic cast of characters, their music was both of and ahead of its time. ... more
