Everybody's got to pay
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Just taking the things not worth having
Chorus:
Don't you worry bout a thing (2x)
Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
You say your style of life's a drag,
And that you must go other places,
But just don't you feel too bad,
When you get fooled by smiling faces,
Chorus:
Don't you worry bout a thing (2x)
Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
When you get off your trip
Don't you worry bout a thing (2x)
Don't you worry bout it
*scatting*
Don't you worry bout a thing (2x)
Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
When you get off your trip
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through
Chorus:
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (2x)
Pretty Mama
Cause I'll be standing on the sides when you check it out
Don't you worry bout a thing. (4x)
don't you worry bout it
*scatting*
Don't worry (5x)
