Yama yama pretty mama, yama yama pretty mama,
Yama yama yama yama yama yama
Pretty mama you look good to me
Well I got a five foot baby
Cutest thing you'll ever see
Heart full of lovin' an' it's all for me
Yama yama pretty mama, yama yama pretty mama,
Yama yama yama yama yama yama
Pretty mama you look good to me
Well all the guys talk about
Their girls so fine
Wait a minute boy till you see mine
Yama yama pretty mama, yama yama pretty mama,
Yama yama yama yama yama yama
Pretty mama you look good to me
Well she got a smile
Make you do-oo-o anything
Sparkle in her eye begats a diamond ring
Yama yama pretty mama, yama yama pretty mama,
Yama yama yama yama yama yama
Pretty mama you look good to me

She got a smile
Make you do-oo-o anything
Sparkle in her eye begats a diamond ring
Yama yama pretty mama, yama yama pretty mama,
Yama yama yama yama yama yama
Pretty mama you look good to me
[Guitar Solo]
Well all the cats talk about
Their girls so fine
Wait a minute boy till you see mine
Yama yama pretty mama, yama yama pretty mama,
Yama yama yama yama yama yama
Pretty mama you look good to me
Yama yama pretty mama, yama yama pretty mama,
Yama yama yama yama yama yama
Pretty mama you look good to me
