Holy Water Lyrics - Singles - Tom Tom Club

Oh, oh mama, uh-oh . . . 

That boy on the corner, he be' sellin' fluff 

Can't tell him nothin, 'cause his life is tough 

Gotta make a livin,' he be' out all night 

But the old folks say Betty raised that boy up right 

Mama said, 

Boy, you need some Holy Water 

My Mama said 

Sprinkle that boy with Holy Water 

Mama said, 

Come on, come on, drink some Holy Water 

My Mama said, 

Child, take the Lord with you, take the Lord with you, oh! 

Babies makin' babies, doin' deals in the street 

Boy's got a deadline with a windin' sheet 

His baby mother outta school, outta dreams 

Caught up in soaps while little Malcolm screams 

Mama said, 

Boy, you need some Holy Water 

My Mama said 

Sprinkle that boy with Holy Water 

Mama said, 

Come on, come on, drink some Holy Water 

My Mama said, 

Take the Lord with you, take the Lord with you...oh, Mama 

Sprinkle that boy with Holy Water, child 

Everyone knows you can't fight fire with fire, no! 

Ashes to ashes, from cradle to grave 

Drink Holy Water, the boy can surely be saved, oh, no... 

Mama said, 

Boy, you need some Holy Water 

My Mama said 

Sprinkle that boy with Holy Water 

Mama said, 

Come on, child, drink some Holy Water 

My Mama said, 

Take the Lord with you, take the Lord with you...oh, Mama
