Queen on the Throne1

Intro

(oh-oh, yeah-yeah)

Verse

First child of Jack and Dorothy, little Jackie came

Catholic school at four, while the twins took the stage

Donald, Donnice, then Dwight eight years down the line

Grandma Veada took her riding on that train

Red cream potatoes, first taste, never let it go

Loved the rails and red potatoes ever since, you know

Chorus

Mama, Grammy, Gammy, Aunt Jackie

Queen on the throne now, shining at eighty-two

Sing it loud, dance it out, tell those jokes from way back when

She’s earned her crown, let the family cater, oh-oh

Mama, Grammy, Gammy, Aunt Jackie

Queen on the throne now, let the good times roll

Verse

Six years strong, single mama holding two

Anthony and DeShawna, doing all she knew

Met her knight through Gloria at TI

Three months later, Herman said “I do”

Herman Jr., then Michelle, thought the family was complete

Then Vanessa, Sherry came, made six kids sweet

Pre-chorus

Thirty years of marriage, first lady at the church

Raised the children, grandbabies, never missed a beat

Chorus

Mama, Grammy, Gammy, Aunt Jackie

Queen on the throne now, shining at eighty-two

Sing it loud, dance it out, tell those jokes from way back when

She’s earned her crown, let the family cater, oh-oh

Mama, Grammy, Gammy, Aunt Jackie

Queen on the throne now, let the good times roll

Bridge

When the Lord called Herman home, the house felt still

Then Emmanuel arrived with bonus hearts to fill

Three more daughters, grandkids too

God sent love again, she knew what to do

Chorus

Mama, Grammy, Gammy, Aunt Jackie

Queen on the throne now, shining at eighty-two

Sing it loud, dance it out, tell those jokes from way back when

She’s earned her crown, let the family cater, oh-oh

Mama, Grammy, Gammy, Aunt Jackie

Queen on the throne now, let the good times roll

Outro

Real estate, insurance, cosmetology too

Still learning, still laughing, still loving you

(oh-oh, yeah-yeah)
