Well, listen now boys...to what I say,    This ol' game of love is easy to play,   There's only one way to see...what the    future will hold,   You better - check out her mama before   you get bold      Refrain:   Check out her mama, before you say I do;   Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me   and you;   Unless her mama is fine, you better take   your time;    She's gonna look jus' like her mama on    down the line.      Now, you think you've found the girl of   your dreams,   Well, pretty things aren't just what they   seem.   'f you wanna see - what the future will   hold,   You better - check out her mama before    you get bold.      Refrain      [solo guitar for 2 choruses (chorii?)]      Now, don't get in a hurry 'cause this ain't   no race.   And don't get taken in by a pretty face.   You know that beauty is only skin deep,   So play your cards right or a sweeter (?)   man be.      Refrain [except with ... if her mama   ain't fine you better take your time...]      [Take it out with soloing]
