Slade - Mama Weer All Crazy Now - 1972





"Mama Weer All Crazee Now" is a song by the British rock band Slade, released in 1972 as the lead single from their third studio album Slayed?. It was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and produced by Chas Chandler.


"Mama Weer All Crazee Now" was the first tune Lea wrote entirely on his own. Holder got the idea for the lyrics at the band's concert at Wembley Arena in London. After the show, he looked at the remains of the auditorium's smashed seating and thought "Christ, everyone must have been crazy tonight."






Lyrics


Ma mama weer all crazee now

Ma ma mama weer all crazee now


Woo!

I don't want to drink my whiskey like you do

I don't need to spend my money but still do

Well don't stop now come on

Another drop now so come on

I want a lot now so come on


That's why

That's why


I say

Ma mama weer all crazee now

Ma ma mama weer all crazee now, yeah


And you told me fool firewater won't hurt me, but you lied

And you tease me and all my ladies deserve me, I'm gonna get her back

But don't stop now come on

Another drop so come on

I want a lot now so come on


That's why

That's why


I say

Ma mama weer all crazee now

I say

Ma ma mama weer all crazee now


Get crazee

Yeah!

Let's go!

Let's party!


I say

Ma mama weer all crazee now

Ma mama weer all crazee now


Oh yeah


Ma mama weer all crazee now

Ooh

Ma ma ma ma mama weer all crazee now


Get crazee with me


Ma mama weer all crazee now

(Mama, mama I'm going crazee. Help me)

Ma mama weer all crazee now

(Oh help me I'm going wild and crazee)

Ma mama weer all crazee now

I say

Ma ma ma ma mama weer all crazee


I said

Ma ma ma ma mama weer all crazee now

Yeah

Woo-hoo!
