LYRICS

An angel sent from above, is Mama (Mama)

And everyone fell in love, with Mama (Mama)

Mama's so sweet, Mama's so nice

Whether there is trouble, take Mama's advice

No one I hold so dear, as Mama (Mama)

I always want to be near Mama

Mama's so sweet, Mama's so nice

Whether there is trouble, take Mama's advice

No one I hold so dear, as Mama (Mama)

I always want to be near Mama

(Ay, Mama mia!)
