Ouch. Mother dear you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear you'll never be my sister On my shoulder you're a chip On my foot you're a blister Mother dear you'll never be my sister Seek the advice of a solicitor Mother dear you'll never be my sister So tell me what am I gonna do They told me that maybe I could sue And oh how the many Were corrupted by the few So I dance the mambo and the cha cha cha I run you over in my beautiful car Dearest darling mummy dearest We can't bear to have you near us.
