Song: "My Mammy" ()

Jakie Rabinowitz

Mammy, Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
But I know where the sun shines best.

Mammy, Mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I'm coming, sorry I made you wait.
I'm coming, I hope and trust I'm not late.

Mammy, Mammy,
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles,
My Mammy, oh-oh-oh.

Mammy, my little Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
But I know where the sun shines best.
It's on my Mammy I'm talking about, nobody else's.

My little Mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
Mammy, I'm coming!
I hope I didn't make you wait!

Mammy, I'm coming!
Oh God, I hope I'm not late!
Mammy, don't you know me? It's your little baby!
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles,
My Ma-mammy!
