| Lyrics: | Your Mother's Here To Stay
It's very clear: your mother's here to stay.
Not just a
year, but ever and a day.
She came to stay just for Mother's Day,
With the kids and you
and me,
And that was Mother's Day of 1953.
If it appears that I've become a
grouch,
It's all these years of sleeping on trhe couch.
I hear Gibraltar just tumbled, the
Rockies just crumbled,
I knew they'd go some day, but
Your mother's here to
stay.
If she'd go back, if she'd just say goodbye,
I'd help her pack, and as she
left, I'd cry.
She just complains, with her aches and pains,
And here arteries are
hard.
How come she's out there playing leap frog in the yard?
Her evening snack
would feed a herd of elk.
Then she sits back, and watches Lawrence Welk.
I'm taking you
and the cherubs, and just like the Arabs,
We'll silently steal away, and
Leave Mother here
to stay |
