LYRICS

Mama let me play with yo' yo-yo
I will let you play with mine
Baby let me play with yo' yo-yo
I like to take my time
I got a brand new yo-yo, brand new string
that's the way to drive the women hearts in pain
Let me play with yo' yo-yo
I'm gonna let you play with mine, I say
I will let you play with mine

Mama let me play with yo' yo-yo
I'll let you play with mine
Baby let me play with your yo-yo string
cause i'm a man like to take my time
you might go east might go west
that's why the women won't let me rest
Let me play with yo' yo-yo
I will let you play with mine, I say
I'm gonna let you play with mine

play that thing for me, Weaver
play it like Miss Cora like it
she like it that way!
she like it so it's good!
do that thing to Miss Kate

Now, Mama let me play with yo' yo-yo
I'm gonna let you play with mine
that's why i'm crazy bout a real yo-yo
? like to take my time
I'm gonna take all my money, throw it up against the wall
I'll take what sticks and you can have what falls
Let me play with yo' yo-yo-yo
I will let you play with mine, I mean
I'm gonna let you play with mine

Baby let me play with yo' yo-yo
I'll let you play with mine
that's why i'm wild about a real good yo-yo
like to take my time
you might throw it in a cadillac, throw it in a Ford
i'll throw the string out on the running board
Let me play with yo' yo-yo
I will let you play with mine, I'm screamin
I'm gonna let you play with mine

Mama Let me play with yo' yo-yo
I'll let you play with mine
that's why i'm wild about a real yo-yo
said she like to take her time
here i stand , against the fence
A woman that mitted ?? ain't got no sense
Let me play with yo' yo-yo
I will let you play with mine, when you want it
I'm gonna let you play with mine

Now baby let me handle your yo-yo string
I'll let you play with mine
that's why I'm wild bout a real yo-yo
y'know i like to take my time
twitch it like a tadpole, snatch it like a frog
what every time i throw the string you got to holler gawd dog
Let me play with yo' yo-yo
I will let you play with mine, I say
I'm gonna let you play with mine
