(Voiceover)
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The keeper of the keys,
The countess of the clink
the mistress of murderers row,
Matron Mama Morton!

(Queen Latifah)
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
they'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen.
I love them all and all of them love me
because the system works,
the system called reciprocity.

Got a little motto,
Always sees me through:
"When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you."

Theres a lot of favours I'm prepared to do,
You do one for Mama, she'll do one for you.

They say that life is tit for tat,
and that's the way I live.
So I deserve a lot of tat
For what I've got to give.

Don't you know that this hand
washes that one too.
When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you
