Well, the telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
The 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 I got 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
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
And don’t devour me
Oh women please have mercy
Let this poor boy be
Oh mother dear please listen
And don’t devour me
