Mother Knows Best sing and play along
still a little sappling, just a sprout.
You know why we stay up in this tower?
That's right, to keep you safe and sound,
Guess I always knew this day coming,
knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest.
Soon, but not yet, trust me,
pet; Mother knows best.
Mother knows best, listen to your Mother,
it's a scary world out there.
Mother knows best, one way or another,
something will go wrong, I swear.
Ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quicksand, cannibals and snakes,
oh, the plague!
Also, large bugs, men with pointy teeth and stop,
no more, you'll just upset me.
Mother's right here,
Mother will protect you, darling, here's what I suggest:
Skip the drama, stay with Mama.
Mother knows best.
Go head, get trampled by rhi
Go head, get mugged and left dead.
Me, just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it.
Let die alone here, be my guest!
When it's too late, you'll see,
just wait.
Mother knows best.
Mother knows best, take it from your Mumsy,
on your own, you won't survive.
Sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy, please, they'll eat you up alive.
Gullible, naive, positively grubby, ditzy and a bit,
well,
I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you.
Mother understands, Mother's here to help you,
all I have is one request.
Don't forget it, you'll regret it.
Mother knows best.
