"Mama I Got Brand New Thing (Don't Say No)" lyrics

Sunday morning I heard mama pray
From a room I heard her say
"Good Lord, help my son find his way."
"Lord, he's just a country boy."
"He thinks the world is great big toy."
There ain't nothing he can't do
If he wants to

He got himself a part-time job
Saved his money and bought him a guitar
Played from sun up to sundown, hey, hey, hey

(He don't wanna) Go to school no more
Don't do his household chores
But I must admit, the neighbors dig his sound
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(He's) Got some big ideas
He's talking 'bout leaving here
Going to a place called "New York City"
And here's what he told me

Mama, I gotta brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
Mama, (Yeah) I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go

Mama said, "My son, my son, you're only sixteen."
"I know being a star is your dream."
"But I think it's time you stop all this fooling."
"And get to your schooling."

Living in a state of frustration
Stop preaching that education
'Cause this job is gonna make me a king
Above everything else, listen
Donned from head to toe
First class everywhere we go
Just give me a chance to do my thing

Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
Mama (Got a burning down deep inside)
I got a brand-new thing (I wanna see my name in lights)
Don't say "No" (Please, please, please, let me go)
Let me go (I can see it now)

Champagne and caviar
A black limousine, chauffeured car
Trips all around the world
And I'll have my choice of any girl

People lined up as far as you can see
Standing in line just to see me
Money stacking up to the sky
There ain't nothing that we can't buy

Have a little faith in me
Mama, I'm sure that you will see
That your son and his guitar
Are gonna go far

Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go

I got a brand-new thing, I got a brand-new thing
I got a brand-new thing, I got a brand-new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand-new thing, I got a brand-new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand-new thing, I got a brand-new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand-new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand-new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand-new thing
(It's alright) I got a brand-new thing

Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing
Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing
Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing
Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing
Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing
Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing
Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing
Tell me do you like my thing, tell me do you like my thing

If you like it, let me see you move
If you like it, let me see you groove
If you like it, let me see you move
If you like it, let me see you groove

Let me see you groove, let me see you groove
Let me see you move, let me see you groove
Let me see you move, let me see you move
Let's groove, let me see you move
Wait a minute, I believe I'm ready to get me some help now

We got a brand-new thing, oh, we got a brand-new thing
We got a brand-new thing, oh, we got a brand-new thing
Here it is!
Here it is!

Mama (Yeah), I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
(Don't say "No") Let me go (Let me go, yeah)
Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No" (don't say "No")
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
Mama, I got a brand-new thing. Don't say "No"
Let me go
