You may wonder what's the reason For this great big smile Say, I haven't been so happy In the longest while Got a big load off my mind Here's the papers, sealed and signed And the judge was nice and kind All through the trial This ends the five-year war I'm sweet Miss Waters once more I can come when I please, I can go when I please I can flit, fly and flutter like the birds in the trees Because I'm no man's mamma now Hey, hey I can say what I like, I can do what I like I'm a gal who is on a matrimonial strike Which means, I'm no man's mamma now I'm screamin', "There, I know how A fella feels gettin' out of jail" I've got twin beds But I take pleasure in announcin' one's for sale Am I makin' it plain? I will never again Drag around another ball and chain I'm through Because, I'm no man's mamma now I can smile, I can wink, I can go take a drink And I don't have to worry what my hubby will think Because, I'm no man's mamma now Get it fixed I can spend if I choose, I can play and sing the blues There's nobody messing with my ones and my twos Because, I'm no man's mamma now You know that there was a time I used to think that men were grand But no more for mine I've gone and labeled my apartment "No Man's Land!" I got rid of my cat, 'cause my cat's name was Pat Won't even have a mailbox in my flat Because, I'm no man's mamma now
