Lyrics
CHILD: Mommy, I want it!
I gotta gotta have it.
Mommy, buy it.
All the kids have got it.
Mommy, mommy, mommy,
mommy, mommy, mommy PLEASE!
Mom: No
Child: But Mom!
When Mama says no, mama means no.
What part of NO don't you understand?
When Mama says no, Mama means no.
No means No all over the land.
Daddy, I want it!
I gotta gotta have it.
Daddy, buy it.
All the kids have got it.
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy PLEASE!
Dad: No
Child: But Dad!
When Daddy says no, daddy means no.
What part of no don't you understand?
When Daddy says no, Daddy means no.
No means no all over the land.
Sometimes Love says Yes.
Sometimes Love says No.
You'll get that figured out
By the time that you are grown.
But if you work real hard and do your chores
And if we approve of what you're asking for....
We might say YES!
CHILD: When daddy says yes, OOO that's the best.
When daddy says yes, well it makes me smile
When daddy says yes, OOO that's the best.
DADDY: Yes, Oh Yes my sweet honey child!
CHILD: When mama says yes, OOO that's the best.
When mama says yes, well it makes me smile.
When Mama says yes, OOO that's the best.
Yes Oh Yes my sweet honey child.
