"Get some whiskey for the General who beat old Bobby Lee!"
Why are these Republicans being so nice to me?
This is the craziest Party that could ever be!
And I'm the best choice for President that they could see?

Mama told me not to run!
Mama told me not to run!
She said, "That ain't the way to have fun! No!"

Open up the White House, let my friends have all the jobs.
Turns out that they've been stealing money like a bunch of slobs!
They're cornering the stocks and leading Indians to death.
The scandals piling up so high, I cannot catch my breath!

Mama told me not to run!
Mama told me not to run!
She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son!
That ain't the way to have fun! No!"

(instrumental break)

Gold fields are drying up, they only find lead ore!
I'm looking at the market, and it's dropped right through the floor!
I seen some stuff even the Democrats never did before!
They want me for a third term, but I don't want the job no more!

Mama told me not to run!
Mama told me not to run!
She said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son!
That ain't the way to have fun! No!"

Mama told me, Mama told me
Mama told me, Mama told me
Mama told me, Mama told me
Mama told me, Mama told me
"That ain't the way to have fun, son!
That ain't the way to have fun, son!
That ain't the way to have fun, son!
That ain't the way to have fun, son!"
