Say mama can I go out tonight,
Say mama would it be alright
They got a little party going down the street
Say mama can't you hear that beat?

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

Say mama don't you look that way
Cause I know just what you're going to say
Well mama well don't be mad,
You're gonna say well go and ask your Dad

Say mama don't you look that way
Cause I know just what you're going to say
Well mama well don't be mad,
You're gonna say well go and ask your Dad

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

Say mama can I go out tonight,
Say mama would it be alright
They got a little party going down the street
Say mama can't you hear that beat?
