[Verse 1]
Ma-ma-ma, please help me, I'm so sad
'Cause I lost the only girl I've ever had
I was so good, she was so bad
She even murdered my little kitty-cat
Ma-ma-ma, please help me, I'm so sad

[Verse 2]
We was kissin' and huggin' in the old man's Chevrolet
Doing eighty miles an hour from Milwaukee to the Frisco Bay
I was high and dry when I heard her say
"With you, I will no longer stay"
And then I saw the bird step out and fly away
(Now it's your turn, you Pickin' Buddy, boy)

[Verse 3]
Drinkin' and boozin' and cryin' at the Fisherman's Wharf
I felt so low I that thought I was a dwarf
Solo here, solo there - play that piano, I don't care
As long as you don't play "Love is in the Air"

[Verse 4]
Now I ain't got nothing to lose and nothing to win
So I sit right down and read about Huckleberry Finn
Nothing to lose, nothing to win
Huckle-huckle-huckle-Huckleberry Finn
The Devil's at my side with a bottle of Gin
[Outro]
So I said:
"Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma"
Nothing to lose, nothing to win
Huckle-huckle-huckle-Huckleberry Finn
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
