Junior - Mama Used To Say Song Lyrics

Said a small boy once asked: "When will I grow up?"
When will I see what grownups do see?"
In his strive to become a man,
he will act an older age
to be reconized as man among the men.

And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get old"
And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
And mama used to say: "Live your life"

As the years where rushing by
he will cut down on his age,
tell his girl of how it used to be.
Now, his mama past away
but this lines she would say
at that time he couldn't understand

And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get old"
And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
And mama used to say: "Live your life"

You're young, so young, so hold on back,
do what you want to do.
Now is the time for you to strive,
For you to get better in what you are doing!

As a small boy once asked: "When will I grow up?"
When will I see what grownups do see?"
As he strived to become a man
he will act an older age,
to be recognized as man among the men!"

Hey mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get on"
And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride
Mama used to say, Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey-ey

And mama used to say: "Take your time young man"
And mama used to say: "Don't you rush to get on"
And mama used to say: "Take it in your stride"
And mama used to say, Mama used to say, Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh-wo-oh
