Fitzgerald, Ella - Mama Come Home Lyrics
Oh Mama, please come home
Oh Mama, please come home
Oh Mama, oh Mama, come home with me now
Papa and me we are hungry and howl
Jumping around with that jitterbug crew
Papa's been mending the holes in his socks
While you stick nickels in the jitterbug box
Mama, come home
Come home, come cook a chik
Mama, come home
Come on, you cookin' slick
Mama, come home
Come on, but double quick
Mama, come home
Come on, make with us steak
Mama, come home
Come on, bake with us cake
Mama, come home
Come on, give us a break
You've been away all day and that is why you hear me say
Mama, oh Mama, come home with me, please
Gone are the crackers and gone is the cheese
Mama, oh Mama, the best thing to do
Seein' that pap is a jitterbug too
And he is so mad that the house really rocks
You better come and bring the jitterbug box
Oh Mama, oh Mama, come home with me now
Papa and me we are hungry and howl
Mama, come home
Mama, come home
Mama, come home
Mama, oh Mama, oh Mama, come home
Mama, come home
Make with us steak
Mama, come home
Bake with us cake
Mama, come home
Please give us a break
You've been away all day and that is why you hear me say
Mama, oh Mama, come home
Oh Mama, oh Mama, come home
Say papa's so mad that the house really rocks
You'd better come and bring the jitterbug box
Come home...

Fitzgerald, Ella Mama Come Home Comments
Actually from Decca 18347. 70653 is the matrix # for Mama Come Home.
Background singers is probably the wrong term, they were more her background group both instrumentally and vocally after she left the Chick Web Band.
Thank you so much for posting this. I knew there were more recordings out there but have had trouble finding them. An interesting note, the picture with the curtain backdrop was taken from a performance at The Apollo Theater in 1943.
To answer PsychicBacon1999's question, the Four Keys were Ella's background singers and recorded 8 records for Decca with Ella in 1942-43.

I've never heard of "Her 4 Keys" Was this some sort of group she worked with?
