Lyrics
Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like the song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mamma, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?
Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
Mamma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mamma's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mamma's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mamma's gonna keep baby cosy and warm
Oooh babe
Oooh babe
Ooh babe, of course Mamma's gonna help build the wall
Mamma, do think she's good enough
For me?
Mamma, do think she's dangerous
To me?
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother, will she break my heart?
Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry
Mamma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mamma won't let anyone dirty get through
Mamma's gonna wait up till you get in
Mamma will always find out where you've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Oooh babe
Oooh babe
Ooh babe, you'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high...?
