Mama told me once uppon a time:
«You´re not a child you can´t waste your time,
Hey son you´re a man you must leave home»
I made up my mind and I must move along
With my old guitar I knew it would be rude
´Cause I´m playing tunes from another lattitude
I can´t sleep it off in my bed
´Cause I got many ideas runnin´ through my head

Her decision sounds to me like a song
The world is rough you´ve to be strong

My life is not here but in another town
I like a foreign neighbour wondering around
Get in trouble ´cause of the gang of the town
And I hear my mother said: «Right on time!»
They were wrong, and I was right
I gave them a hell of a fight
After the brush, I was bruised
And no one want to be in my shoes

Her decision sounds to me like a song
The world is rough you´ve to be strong

Refrain: Right on time, bang on time
Right on time, Let´s boogie woogie!!

And so I´ve started smoking cigarettes
Hey wait a minute
I´ve not finished my can yet
Playing with girls ain´t got a nickel in my pocket
Remembering my mother always use to say

Her decision sounds to me like a song
The world is rough you´ve to be strong
