Sunday morning I heard mama pray
From a room I heard her say
"Good Lord help my son find his way"
"Lord he's just a country boy"
"Thinks the world is great big toy"

tito
There ain't nothin'

jackson 5
He can't do

tito
If he wants to

jackson 5
He got himself a part time job
Saved his money and bought him a guitar
Played from sun up to sundown,

jackie
hey, hey, hey

jackson 5
(He don't wanna)

jackie
Go to schoool no more
Don't do his household chores

tito
But I'm a hit, the neighbors biggest sound,

jackson 5
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(He's)

michael
Got some big ideas
He's talkin' 'bout leavin' here
Going to a place called New York City

jackson 5
And here's what he told me

Mama, I gotta brand new thing don't say no
Let me go
Mama, (Yeah) I gotta brand new thing don't say no
Let me go

michael
Mama said, "My son, my son you're only sixteen"
"I know being a star is your dream"
"But I think it's time you stop all this foolin'"
"And get to your schoolin'"

jackson 5
Living in a state of frustration
Stop preachin' that education
'Cause this job is gonna make me a king

jermaine
Above everything else, listen

jackson 5
Donned from head to toe

marlon
First class everywhere we go
Just give me a chance to do my thing

jackson 5
Mama, I gotta brand new thing don't say no
Let me go
Mama, I gotta brand new thing don't say no
Let me go
I can see it now

marlon
Champagne and caviar
Black limousine, chauffeured car
Trips all around the world
And I'll have my choice of any girl

michael
People lined up as far as you can see

jermaine
Standing in line just to see me

jackie
Money stacking up to the sky

marlon
There ain't nothin' that we can't buy
Have a little faith in me

tito
Mama I'm sure that you will see that your son and his guitar
Are gonna go far

jackson 5
Mama, I gotta brand new thing don't say no
Let me go
Mama, I gotta brand new thing don't say no
Let me go
