Mother oh Mother
She is like none other
Mother oh Mother
No mother - no me
Mother oh Mother
Where for art thou mother
Mother oh Mother
My mother - 'tis me
Mother oh Mother
The ship and the rudder
Mother oh Mother
Is grand company
Mother oh Mother
I sigh and I stutter
Mother oh Mother
I celebrate thee
Happy Mother's Day!
She Thinks, She Feels

She thinks she feels that she loves him
She told me this herself
She didn't say she loves him.
She thinks she feels like she loves him
She says she's not "in love"
She's never even met him.
She thinks she feels that she loves him
She doesn't know his name
She's only ever seen him.
She thinks she feels like she loves him
It sounds a bit confusing....
Could he feel the same?

Are there tears in your ears?
Do they soak your pillow through?
Are there tears in your ears?
I have had them, how 'bout you?
Are there tears in your ears?
Is your hair completely wet?
Are there tears in your ears?
Do not worry. Do not fret!
If there be tears in your ears
Then I know just what to do.
If there be tears in your ears
Sit right up, it works. It's true!!
Woe is me 'cause the rat has stole my
cheese.
Woe be to you for the rat is never through.
Fall to your knees as the rat stealeth your
cheese.
Flee to the hill as the rat he gets his fill.
Everybody flees as the rat has found more
cheese.
Heed this warning friends for his hunger
never ends!
