Holy Water Tom Tom Club

[Verse 1]
That boy on the corner, he be sellin' fluff
Can't tell him nothin' 'cause his life is tough
Gotta make a livin', he be out all night
But the old folks say Betty raised that boy up right

[Chorus]
My mama said
"Boy, you need some holy water"
My mama said
"Sprinkle that boy with holy water"
My mama said
"Come on, come on, drink some holy water"
My mama said
"Come on, come on, child, take the Lord with you"

[Verse 2]
Babies makin' babies, doin' deals in the street
Boy's got a deadline with a windin' sheet, oh
His baby-mother, outta school, outta dreams
Caught up in soaps while little Malcolm screams

[Chorus]
My mama said
"Boy, you need some holy water"
My mama said
"Sprinkle that boy with holy water"
My mama said
"Come on, child, drink some holy water"
My mama said
"Come on, come on, child, take the Lord with you"
