Mother

[Verse 1]

Well, the telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

The telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

The telephone is screaming

Won't she leave me alone?

The telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone? Ahh

[Verse 2]

Well, every girl that I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end

Every girl I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end

Well, I hear my mother calling

But I don't need her as a friend

Well, every girl I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end

Oh, ohh, mother

[Guitar solo]

Mother

Mother

[Verse 3]

Oh, mother dear, please listen

And don't devour me

Oh, mother dear, please listen

Don't devour me

Oh, women, please have mercy

Let this poor boy be

Oh, mother dear, please listen

And don't devour me

Oh, mother

[Verse 4]

Well, the telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

The telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

The telephone is screaming

Won't she leave me alone?

The telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

Oh, [maniacal laughter], mother, ohhhh

[Outro]

Mother, mother, mother

Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother...
