This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat from ol' Chicago town.

* Verse 1 She was the meanest cat in old Chicago town.
She was the meanest cat.
She really moved them down.
She had no heart at all,
No no no heart at all.

She was the meanest cat.
Oh, she was really tough.
She left her husband flat.
He wasn't tough enough.
She took her boys along 'cause they were mean and strong.

* Chorus Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - to handle their guns.
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - she never could cry,
Ma Ma Ma Ma - Ma Baker - but she knew how to die.

* 6-bar break

* Verse 2 They left a trail of crime across the U.S.A.
And when one boy was killed, she really made them pay.
She had no heart at all,
No no no heart at all.

* Repeat chorus

* Verse 3 She met a man she liked.
She thought she'd stay with him.
One day he formed with them.
They did away with him.
She didn't care at all,
Just didn't care at all.

* Monologue: (policeman talking through a CB radio)
Here is a special bulletin. Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman.
Her photo is hanging on every post office wall. If you have any information about this woman, please contact the nearest police station...

* 20-bar break

* spoken during 9th and 10th bars of break:
Don't anybody move! The money or your lives!

* Verse 4 One day they robbed a bank.
It was their last foray.
The cops peared too soon.
They couldn't get away,
and all the loot they had,
It made them mighty mad,

And so they shot it out,
Ma Baker and her sons.
They didn't want to hang.
They died with blazing guns,
And so the story ends
Of one who left no friends.
