Prerogative

When I was a boy of ten years old I made my mama proud That's when I learned a brand new word That I'd often say outloud I had heard other people use it But I didn't know what it meant So that's when I looked in Webster's Where many hours were spent Prerogative was my brand new word I'd say it everywhere I even used it at the dinner table It didn't matter who was there I would used it in the bathroom While reading that magazine I would use it in the bath tub While making sure I'm clean The one day my mama told me Don't say that word anymore I told her, "That's your prerogative" Cause now I'm smarter than before Well, that just didn't sit very well As you can probably figure out And that's when she started to fussin' And man can that woman shout She said go to your room young man I said, "Mama are you positive?" She said, "Yes I am now hurry up" I said, "That's your Prerogative"
