Mama told me never look to deep   into the eyes of blue   Mama told me never look to deep   you're gonna see right through   Mama told me never look to deep   you're gonna see right through to tomorrow   Mama told me never look to deep   you're gonna see nothing but sorrow   That's the way it goes   Downstairs before my brothers and my sisters   rub the sleep out of their eyes   A red fire engine and a bike   I like the funky sensation inside   Calling up my friend later on my CB radio   10-4 good buddy tell me do you copy   but he's already gone   That's the way it goes   Mama told me never look to deep now   Mama told me never look to deep now   Mama told me never look to deep   Because the things you can hold   you can never keep   My dog died on Halloween   So I blamed it on the trick or treat   Me and my brother got a drum set   It said out of this world on it   My little green and yellow shoe box   Is stuck up somewhere in the rafters   Santa was a bad man   but he never knew my mama
