lyrics

I want the bad girls baby on the right hand side
Come now take me for a ride
I want the good girls woman on the left hand side
Oh, Mami you were right

The first time I saw her
I did not know quite what I was in for
The look in her eyes
Gave me pause, still I thought it alright
Some they want money
Or a bee busy making them honey
Some they want shoes
I wonder which ones she will choose

I want the bad girls baby on the right hand side
Come now take me for a ride
I want the good girls woman on the left hand side
Oh, Mami you were right

I can't live without her
Just like air, shelter and beer
Will she set me free
There'll be no escaping this fire for me
But I can't live with her
If only all of life's choices were clearer
This girl is so fine
These choices are no longer mine

One fish, two fish
Why do I always want a new fish
Three fish, four fish
Why do I always want more fish

I want the bad girls baby on the right hand side
Come now take me for a ride
I want the good girls woman on the left hand side
Oh, Mami you were right
Oh Oh, Mami you were right
Oh Oh, Mami you were right
