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
