Well the telephone is ringing,

Is that my mother on the phone?

Telephone is ringing,

Is that my mother on the phone?

The telephone is screaming,

Won't she leave me alone?

The telephone is ringing,

Is that my mother on the phone?

Well every girl that I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end.

Every girl I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end.

Well I hear my mother calling,

But I don't need her as a friend.

Well every girl I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end.

Oh, oh mother

Oh mother dear please listen

And don't devour me.

Oh mother dear please listen

Don't devour me.

Oh women please have mercy

Let this poor boy be.

Oh mother dear please listen

And don't devour me.

Oh mother......

Well the telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

Telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

Oh mother
