Story Behind The Song
I was walking through my neighborhood, San Francisco's Mission district when I saw a woman in her late 30's with her kids. She looked like a normal Mom except she had tattos on every bit of exposed skin you could see. I don't have tattos, but it got me thinking about how accepted they've become in our culture as her was a Mom who was "painted" to the hilt. The rest was just for fun.
Song Description
A fun song about being yourself and enjoying whatever floats your boat. I don't have tattoos myself, but certainly don't mind others who do.

Lyrics
Intro-
This here's a tale about justice served,
Lessons forgotten, and how they might be learned
Verse 1-
Well Momma's always been the rock of the house
Sweet as a kitten, but wouldn't hurt a mouse
Papa's always been one son of a gun
Too much good times wasn't enough
Mama decided she wanted some
Called up her girls, said "Let's have fun!"
Chorus
Whoo Hooo, Whooo Hoooo
Momma's got a new attitude
Whoo Hooo, Whooo Hoooo
Momma she might get a new tattoo
Poppa's in the kitchen, don't know what to do
Momma's talking 'bout a new tattoo
Whoo Hooo, Whooo Hoooo
Momma's got a new attitude
Verse 2-
Momma told Poppa, "You're cookin' tonight"
Poppa said, "Momma, now that ain't right"
Momma said "I don't care what you do"
I'm out with the girls, might even get a tattoo"
Poppa he yelled, "Oh no, you're not"
Momma was gone, gone like a shot.
Chorus-
Bridge-
Momma woke Poppa as he slept on the couch
Could tell she'd been drinking as she undid her blouse
She said, "Hey man, you gotta see this"
"This one's for Poppa" read the heart on her chest
Chorus
