3  3   3  2  1   3    3    3  2  1
I want my Ma-ma  He wants his Ma-ma
3     4    -4   -3   3  -2  2  -1
Al-though he’d pass for her pa-pa
  3     3   3 -2  -1   3   3  3  -2  -1
She’s quite a nif-ty  He’s o-ver fif-ty
 3  3    3   -4  -3  3    -2    3   -2
But he won’t own up that he’s grown up
2  -1   1   3  3   3  3
So he sighs ma-ma, ma-ma

3  3   3  2  1   3  3   3  2  1
I want my Ma-ma  I want my Ma-ma
 3  4  -4   -3   3  -2  2  -1
And he can count on his ma-ma
3   3  3  -2 -1   3  3  3  -2 -1
To lul-la-by him and pa-ci-fy him
 3   3    3   -4  -3  3   -2   3
And give him kiss-es when he cries
-2 2   -1 1
Ma-ma, ma-ma
