Mama Won't Quit Yakkin' Lyrics

Back in the '80s we had just one phone

Mama'd grab it make it her own

That cord stretched clear across the hall

She'd talk for hours wouldn't hang up at all

About Aunt Sue the neighbor or sales at the store

And I'd be stuck waitin' by the door

Mama won't quit yakkin' she's on that phone all night

That long ol' cord's tangled up so tight

I'm tryin' to call but I can't get through

She's been talkin' for hours what can I do?

She's goin' on and on and I know it's a fact

Mama won't quit yakkin' she ain't lookin' back

My sister's friend tried to call one day

But Mama kept talkin' wouldn't let her play

She'd pace the kitchen phone in her grip

Talkin' 'bout things like her latest trip

I'd sit there waitin' wishin' she'd quit

But Mama kept on never stoppin' a bit

Mama won't quit yakkin' she's got so much to say

That long ol' cord gets in the way

Tied up the line can't make a call

She's been at it since noon and now it's dark!

She's talkin' and talkin' that's a known fact

Mama won't quit yakkin' she ain't lookin' back

Now it's cell phones but nothin' has changed

Mama's still talkin' like she's unchained

From Facebook to texts she's always on

Yakkin' with anyone from dusk to dawn

It might be wireless but it's the same old song

Mama's still talkin' all day long

Mama won't quit yakkin' now she's on her phone

No more long cords but she's never alone

From the kitchen to town she's talkin' away

On calls and texts all through the day

She's still goin' strong and I know it's a fact

Mama won't quit yakkin' she ain't lookin' back

Yeah Mama won't quit yakkin' from then to now

She's still talkin' don't ask me how

Whether it's the '80s or the cell in her hand

Mama's still yakkin' all across this land!
