The UK single version of Ma-Ma-Ma Belle contains a unique rising string interlude following the second chorus that is not heard on the album version. This short segment is actually lifted from the song Dreaming Of 4000 where it is extracted from that song, flipped backwards, a flange effect is added...
[Verse 1]
Got love, if that's what you need
I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee
I got good love waitin' for you
I come sneakin' 'round the corner of the avenue
[Chorus]
You gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle
I will get you
[Verse 2]
There's one thing that's on my mind
And that's a-gettin' hold of you before I serve my time
I gotta keep on with my heavy load
'til I see you come a-strollin' down that open road
[Chorus]
You gotta ma-ma-ma belle before I get you
Don't you know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or I will get you
And you're feeling sorrow, ma-ma-ma belle, I will get you
You know it's all about ma-ma-ma belle, I will get you
[Verse 3]
I love you, ma-ma belle
That's why I wanna get it all well, I'm sure you can tell
I got good soul runnin' so deep
Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep
[Outro]
Can't you hear me once ma-ma-ma belle, oh, I will get you
You know I want her, ma-ma belle, oh, I will get you, yeah
And you gotta find ma-ma belle, oh, I will get you, yeah
Gotta show 'em that ma-ma-ma belle, oh, I will get you, yeah
You gotta ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma belle
I'm gonna see you down, down, d-down
Gonna see yo ma-ma-ma-ma belle, gonna see you 'round
'round, year-round, down
Gonna see about ma, no, bell, I won't let you down
Get down, get down
Gonna see about ma-ma-ma belle
