Mother, mother, how's the family? I'm just callin' to say hello How's the weather? How's my father? Am I lonely? Heavens know Mother, mother, are you listenin'? Just a phone call to ease your mind Life is perfect, never better Distance makin' the heart grow fond When you sent me off to see the world Were you scared that I might get hurt? Would I try a little tobacco? Would I keep on hikin' up my skirt? I'm hungry, I'm dirty I'm losin' my mind, everything's fine! I'm freezin', I'm starvin' I'm bleedin' to death, everything's fine! Yeah, I'm workin', makin' money I'm just startin' to build a name I can feel it around the corner I could make it any day Mother, mother, can you hear me? Sure I'm sober, sure I'm sane Life is perfect, never better Still your daughter, still the same If I tell you what you wanna hear Will it help you to sleep well at night? Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear? Now just cuddle up and sleep tight I'm hungry, I'm dirty I'm losin' my mind, everything's fine! I'm freezin', I'm starvin' I'm bleedin' to death, everything's fine! I miss you, I love you
