Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only dolphin
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"
"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"
"And be a simple kind of dolphin
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of dolphin
Oh, won't you do this for me, dolphin, if you can"
