"All Mama's Children" lyrics

All Mama's Children

There was an old woman
That lived in a shoe
Had so many children
She didn't know what to do
They were doing all right
Till she took them to town
The kids started picking them up
And putting them down

Now all your children wanna rock, mama
All your children wants to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All your children wants to rock
Rock now, go

Well, we're not trying
To live too fast
And we might as well
Try to live in class
We better move out
Before the rent comes due
Cause we wanna live
In a blue suede shoe

All your children wanna rock, mama
All your children wants to roll
We wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock
Now rock, go

Well, every night
When it's quiet and still
You can hear it echoing
Through the hill
From a blue suede shoe
On a mountain top
All of mama's youngens
Are doing the bop

All them children wanna rock, mama
All your children wanna roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All your children wanna rock
Rock, go
Hey let's rock it
Well bop

Well, all your children wanna rock, mama
All your children wanna roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock
Wanna bop till they pop
All them children wants to rock
