Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb

Mother do you think they'll like this song

Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls

Oo-ah, Mother should I build a wall

 

/ G' C - G - / / C G - / D C" G - /

 

Mother should I run for president

Mother should I trust the government

Mother will they put me in the firing line

Oo-ah, is it just a waste of time

 

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry

Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true

Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you

Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing

She won't let you fly but she might let you sing

Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm

Oo, babe, oo babe, oo babe

Of course mama's gonna help build the wall

 

/ G'" C - / F C / / / / F CG G / D C D C / D C G - /

 

Mother do you think she's good enough for me

Mother do you think she's dangerous to me

Mother will she tear your little boy apart

Oo-ah, Mother will she break my heart

 

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry

Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you

Mama won't let anyone dirty get through

Mama's gonna wait up till you get in

Mama will always find out where you've been

Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

Oo, babe, oo babe oo babe

You'll always be a baby to me

 

Mother, did it need to be so high
