Loudon Wainwright III
Make Your Mother Mad
You're so young and beautiful
You look and smell so nice
If you asked me to be with you
No way I'd think twice
Some girls do the older guys
And a daughter wants a date
Go ahead and love me
Make your mother mad
We got to make your mother mad
Every year's a chapter, every day's a page
You look just like your mother did when she was your age
You see her now and you see yourself
Here they come, oh it's kinda sad
Go ahead and love me
Make your mother mad
We got to make your mother mad
Remember that old commercial
With a daughter and a mom?
Whose soft hands were identical
Finger, nail, and palm?
They were just selling soap
A silly TV ad
And when the father left the mother
You know the poor woman went mad
One day you might marry, you may have a child
A boy who is mischievous, a girl so sweet and mild
If your husband leaves you that will feel really bad
But watch out for that little girl she might make you mad
She might make you mad
My father left my mother for someone long ago
Oh, some-one day I'm gonna kill my mom, or maybe, I don't know
It's crazy that you want me, it's amazing I'm so great
Guess I'm just a faithless son I got to make your mother mad
I know I'm so mischievous I got to make your mother mad
I'm guess I'm just my father's son I got to make your mother mad
