Mama Didn't Raise No Fool
This mid-tempo stomp has a simple main hook that you won't be able to get out of your head! It's fun and sassy, 'tough' without being aggressive or mean. The SATB voicing is designed as a costume transition number -- guys only for the first 70 seconds before ladies join in. Spice it up with some on-stage percussion if you wish!
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax
