lyrics

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?
Ooh ah, Mother, should I build a wall?

Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh ah, is it just a waste of time?

Hush my 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

Ooh Baby, ooh Baby
Ooh Babe, of course Mama's gonna help build the wall

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?
Ooh ah, Mama, will she break my heart?

Hush, my baby, baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty with you
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

Ooh Baby, ooh Baby
Ooh Babe, you'll always be baby to me

Mother did it need to be so high?
