Use What Mama Gave You Lyrics - Squirrel Nut Zippers

I've been pushed around 

Beaten down 

Manhandled and abused 

Seems like every time I turn around 

A friend is gone, 

Another chance blown 

Oh, I get so confused 

Someone's giving me the runaround 

I pick myself up, 

I'm not gonna let them spoil my hand 

No, I'm gonna follow the lead 

Of the old queens of Bourbon street. 

They used to tell me: 

Cella, honey...

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You've got to use what mama gave you 

Just like Gypsy Rose Lee 

Shake what mama gave you 

Take this advice from me 

We're gonna kick down the chairs 

And knock out the lights 

Raise the roof 

And hit your dance tonight 

Use what mama gave you 

Just like Gypsy Rose Lee 

Shake what mama gave you 

Take this advice from me 

Well use a little bit of these 

And a whole lot of that 

Show everybody 

Where you've a real career, oh honey 

Photos 

Use what mama gave you 

Just like Gypsy Rose Lee 

Shake what mama gave you 

Take this advice from me 

Well, I made a million dollars 

And every dime I've spent 

Well honey, I was on the red carpet 

When paparazzi were invented 

Use what mama gave you 

Oh yeah, use what mama gave you 

I said, use what mama gave you 

Just like Gypsy Rose Lee! 

Oh yeah... 

But don't be so mean. 

That's it baby, whooo!
