at my front door
Written by: Abner-Moore
Long ago, far away--
[Burp.] Excuse me.
[Crowd noises.]
Crazy little momma come a knockin'
Come a knockin' at my front door door door
Crazy little momma come a knockin'
Come a knockin' at my front door
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before
I woke up this mornin' with a feelin' of despair
Just lookin' for my baby but she wasn't there
Heard someone knockin' and much to my surprise
There stood my baby lookin' in my eyes
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before
Yeah, if you got a little momma and wanna keep her neat
Keep your little momma off my street
Same thing will happen like it did before
She come a knock knock knockin' at my door
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before
Just like she did before
Just like she did before
(Repeat 2nd verse)
