Momma Want Tea
Momma want tea, she likes tea, look at her in the kitchen
heating water, ‘cause mama want tea,
So does daddy, he there too, both of ‘em in the kitchen
heating water for their brew
Little baby Coco, she can see,
and what she sees is mama and daddy want tea,
But she a little baby, she don’t wear silk
she don’t wear jewelry and she only drink milk
but little baby Coco, she don’t agree,
that little baby Coco Loco oh no she ain’t getting no tea
Momma likes to sing, she can sing,
hear her in the kitchen heatin’ water while she sing
and then the kettle steam, that’s how the kettle sing,
and when the kettle sing it mean that
Momma doin’ the hot tea thing,
And baby Coco, she wake up,
and hear the Momma pouring water in the tea cup,
But the little bitty baby, she don’t see,
why little baby Coco Loco oh no she ain’t getting no tea
And little baby Coco Loco oh no she ain’t getting no tea
She look to her left, she look to her right,
she know they try to keep their tea out of sight,
but they not gonna trick her, not tonight, cause…
Big sister Sophie, she want tea,
she stretching out her little arms now give it to me,
And the little baby, she can see,
and what she sees is sister Sophie she want tea,
So little baby Coco, she don’t agree,
That little baby Coco Loco oh no she ain’t getting no tea.
She look to her left, she look to her right,
she know they try to keep their tea out of sight,
but they not gonna trick her, not tonight, cause…
Momma want tea, Daddy Want tea,
Sister want tea, everybody else want tea
Baby Coco, she want tea,
But little baby Coco Loco oh no she ain’t getting no tea
Are you a little baby, what do you see?
Do the people all around you show you what you want to be?
A baby don’t see, what a grown-up sees,
and little baby Coco Loco oh no she ain’t getting no tea.
