You may wonder What's the reason For this great big smile; Say I haven't Been so happy For the longest while; Got a big load off my mind; Here's the paper, Sealed and signed And the judge was nice and kind All through the trial; This ends the five year war. I am myself once more; I can go where I please; I can come when I please; I can flit, fly, and flutter Like the birds in the trees Because I'm no man's mama now. I can do what I like; I can say what I like; I'm a gal who is on the matrimonial strike Because I'm no man's mama now. I'm screaming now I know how A fellow feels gettin' out of jail. I've got twin beds And I take pleasure in announcing One's for sale. Am I making it plain? I will never again Drag around another ball and chain. Because I'm no man's mama 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. Beacause I'm no man's mama now. Are you gettin' it yet? I can spend what I choose. I can play and sing the blues, And there's nobody messing with my ones and my twos. Because I'm no man's mama now. I tell ya There was a time I used to think that men were grand. No more I've gone and labeled my apartment No man's land. I got rid of my cat Because the cat's name was Pat. Don't even have a mailbox In my flat. Because I'm no man's mama now. Am I makin' it plain? I will never again Drag around another ball and chain. Because I'm no man's mama now.
