Listen, all you rolling stones
When you leave your happy homes
When you start leaving your own people
Things all seem to go wrong
There's a saying old today
Chicks come home to roost they say
But let me tell you one thing
When you wander away
No one loves you
Any better than your
M-O double M-Y
And when you start to cry
She'll dry each tearful
Make you cheerful
No matter where you roam
Your thoughts always stray
Back to that little shack
A cozy, little nest so far away
M is for the mince pies she used to bake
O is for the oatmeal she'd always make
Double M is for the many miles you had to roam
And Y is that you're yearning just to get back home
And though you roam this whole world over
Sure a love like hers you can't buy
'Cause no one loves you
Any better than your
M-O-double M-Y oh yeah!
A cozy little nest so far away
M is that she misses you, she's all alone
O is that you only want to get back home
Double M is for the many months of care and strife
And Y is that she'll yearn for you all through life
And though you roam this whole world over
Sure a love like hers you can't buy
'Cause on one loves you
Any better than your
M-O double M-Y
M-O double M-Y
M-O double M-Y
MOMMY!
