Queen Latifah - When You're Good To Mama Lyrics

I think an successful reboot of Chicago could be done with Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Bebe Rexa, Ariana Grande, etc.

Ugh whenever I see queen in 1920s style clothes she’s a goddess😍🧡 oh yes and also that red dress from Last Holiday♥️

Latifa should have gotten an Oscar for the movie Bessie

Bessie was a TV movie

@Adil El Nhaily it won an award for best tv movie but latifa shld have won an award for her portrayal of Bessie

if my computer was butter- this PERFORMANCE would have caused a sticky mess. on my desk!

Mamma Morton dala

Mamma:
Mennyi pelyhes pipi van itt bent!
Én őrzöm őket és ez jót jelent!
Jó tyúkanyóként gondom úgysincs más
Egy néhány jó tanács,
De ingyen nincsen kotkodácsolás!
Légy énhozzám drága,
Gyöngéd és oly jó
Mama nem túl drága,
Mégis épp oly jó!
Nem kell érte hála, az korrupció!
Egy zsák apró bankó, csúszópénz oly jó!

Légy bőkezű és rád vigyáz
Az ég ott fent és én!
De kettőnk közt csupán az ég ,
Jóléti intézmény!
Kenni vagy nem kenni?
Nagy kérdés, ez tény
Kenni kell csak kenni
Jól jár más és én!

Hát, a saját hátunk, mosni túl nehéz
Mossuk egymás hátát, nem kell hozzá ész!
Jó a szappan helyett, két fonódó kéz
Egymást a két fürdős érti jól és kész!

Légy bőkezű és rád vigyáz
Az ég ott fent és én!
De kettőnk közt csupán az ég
Jóléti intézmény!
Kenni vagy nem kenni?
Nagy kérdés, ez tény
Kenni kell csak kenni
Jól jár más és én!

Nekem nem kell hálapezsgő
Na az korrupció
Kis kéz küldi kéznek
Csúszópénz az jó!

She is fabulous. Love her, love this song.
That's life, make it fun and make it work for you and yours.

I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable listening to this in the same room as my parents, but I will say this is an amazing song, the music and the acting are great, and obviously they picked the perfect person to play Mama.

I want to have that dress so badly.

the countess of the clink!

I wonder what kind of people clicked the "dislike" button on this? Maybe some uptight Puritans?

She was great as Ursula from The Little Mermaid!!! 🧜‍♀️

Mama Morton
the heavy DYKON

*My straightness*
*ight imma head out*

Who else is here from poor unfortunate souls?

Can Lizzo please reprise this role in a live version or a remake???

They need to get her to play the new Ursala in the little mermaid remake. She's got a great voice and is a great actress. Way better than that one fat chick from SNL

Can't believe I'm saying this; mainly because I'm strictly heterosexual, but man, I gotta say that's one lucky scarf.

Yea ... She really ruined this song for all the others. Zilch competition.

Lizzo of the 2000s

uSED TO DANCE..AND MAKE COSTUMES- *this is the HOTTEST set* ...I have ever seen-that includes, the Candy Cane,Burlesque hs/Lenny Bruce's girlfriend/Miami beach,ALL the clubs/ Daytona bch, THE MONK,DIAMOND DOLLS,THE CHEETAH,FIRESTARTERS, the cops Club,on 7th ave,... .andAll...ofCrazyJim's clubs,AND... THE BROTHELS,IN SOUTH mIAMI...

No wonder I realized I liked girls, I remember I was hypnotized by this song the first time I saw it!

Best scene in the movie

She's gorgeous.

I have always been super gay for her!

We performed it on stage and i played Mama, the funny thing was, i played it as a Drag XD soo good

Heard she's gonna be Ursula in the live action little mermaid. She'll do great.

At the Oscar, i guess Queen Latifah more deserve the Oscar than Catherine...

There’s a lot of favors I’m prepared to do, you do one for mama, she’ll do one for you 😋😉

i’m so excited for her to play ursula in the live musical! what a legend!

This is the scene that turned me into a raging lesbian

Makes me feel more confident as a curvy woman to see Queen Latifah absolutely kill this song with sexiness. She is absolutely gorgeous.

Queen performed this the other night at Ravinia and she was beyond incredible!

Cleeeopatra isss that U,(?).🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💚💛🧡💜.

This is standard viewing to remind the kids that there were several big girls out here strutting their stuff before lizzo, putting on for plus size women. Namely, queen latifah, who looks straight up sexy in this number and NAILS this song. Anyway....All hail ALL queens. 🙌🙌🙌

ooohhhhhhh mama

It’s so interesting to me to find clips from musical films that are always subtitled in some obscure language that I would never have recognized were it not labeled as such

Ursula is that you?

Oscar nominated performance!!!

They did this song so perfectly...

Hey Disney I found Ursula for the live action Little Mermaid!

She's gonna be sooo great to be ursulaaa

well kids its finally happened they put the 20s potato sack flapper dress on somebody with a womanly figure and unlike the twiggy group she made it look good very good  and she is rocking the fuck out of that headband . !!! SO WHAT'S THE ONE CONCLUSION  I CAN BRING THIS COMMENT TO ????? EVERYONE FIND A TWIGGY !!! TO !!! FEED !!! A !!!SANDWICH  !!! TOOOO !!! .

Boy, 'Orange Is the New Black' seems different to what I remember.



(Side note: Alex and Piper do remind me of Roxie and Velma pretty often lmao)

tell me how does 'stroke' and 'strokes' translate in the penultimate verse? Is that fondling or hitting?

Marine Biology
. Command to "row, pull oar" all together.

@Cem Ertem I'm talking about "When you’re stroking Mama, Mama's stroking you"

hahha mamma's face at 2:11

I have a question. When Velma tells Mama Morton about an editorial someone wrote about her, Mama Morton says she can't buy that kind of publicity, at which point Velma pulls out a dollar and gives it to Mama Morton. What was the dollar for? I mean, what was she buying when the editorial already came out? Also, surely it costs more than $1 to bribe someone into writing an editorial about you, even in 1920s Chicago bucks. That whole bit confuses me.

Ashes Mandalay I’m pretty sure it is just a way of showing her that she earns money even inside jail, contradicting Mama’s statement of “Not being able to buy publicity”

I remember when this movie was shown in class all the boys had boners

Julianne Hannes 😂😂😂😂

God this woman is gorgeous! The ultimate "f...ck off" to every idiots saying that only skinny women are beautiful!

This made me gayer

"You put in for Mama, she'll put out for you!"

Oh....my.... O//////O

She stole the movie with this number!

You could smother a small dog in those boobs god damn

My school is doing Chicago for next years musical. I'm hoping to get the role of Mama

This aged nicely

What language are those subtitles in

Turkish

2:16 just give me life bitch!😍💖💖💖💖💖😍😘💖😍😍

My type of woman.

Loved her in this movie. She NAILED it and looks amazing

The boobs suffocated me.

to me she’s underrated like this women can act/rap/dance and sing she needs way more recognition!!!!❤️

I saw this show on Broadway in 2002. The actress playing Mama was wonderful, but she wasn’t nearly as sexy as Queen Latifah.

Dead ass the best scene in the movie

And what a fabulous homage to Ma Rainey

she's beautiful😗😗🤔🤔

I only like men but this is still extremely erotic

God bless Queen you beautiful angel

Holy shit. Her knockers are mesmerizing. And that's coming from a gay man.

If Catherine Zeta Jones was not in this movie Queen Latifah would’ve easily gotten the 2003 Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

When corruption is a factor in any department of local government, police department, fire department, whatever department, that in which the corruption resides in, when corruption resides in a department or more than one, it is a saddening thing.

Mussolini is escorting mama Morton there

Is "Mama" a lesbian???? 😐

Muito Show.

“So I deserve a lotta tat, for what I got to give!” So she has a lot of t-OOOOOOOOOOOH.

3:05 oh dear Jesus help my gay little soul.

this gives me ursula vibes

I saw the original Broadway production with Gwen Verdon (Chita wasn't on that night) and Mama Morton was played by Mary McCarty, a talented actress and singer, and old-time dyke. Discreet but hard-core, she was the partner of actress Margaret Lindsay. McCarty died of heart disease in her 50s. Only mention it given the, shall we say, rumors about the actress playing Mama Morton in this film. The song here is full of double entendres but the film shys away, mentioning that Mama Morton is only interested in money, but how many women in prison movies do we have to see to know better?

i'm getting ursula vibes from this

the definition of curvy

Been listening to this on repeat for about a week

When you're good to Mama's Mama's good to you

We watched chicago but most of my classmates see mama as some laughable character, but i really love her 💟

Ok whos that one girl that sounds like Helen from incredibles? Whats her name?

i am. Mega gay

very good actor :D

Hetalia brought me here-

Channels Sophie Tucker flawlessly.

Latifah/Dana is so versatile as an artist I’m so proud of her.

Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest Mutha... Hen
I love them all and all of them love me -
Because the system works;
the system called reciprocity!

Got a little motto
Always sees me through -
When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you!

There's a lot of favors
I'm prepared to do
You do one for Mama, she'll do one for you!

They say that life is tit for tat
And that's the way I live -
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I've got to give!

Don't you know that this hand
washes that one too
When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you!

If you want my gravy
Pepper my ragu
Spice it up for Mama, she'll get hot for you!

When they pass that basket
Folks contribute to -
You put in for Mama, she'll put out for you!

The folks a top the ladder
are the ones the world adores -
So boost me up my ladder kid
and I'll boost you up yours!

Let's all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew -
When you're strokin' Mama, Mama's strokin' you!

So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you!

What a great cast and this scene is my favorite. 😍
