Hey me mama do you know where your kids are
They're outside drinking rum in the afternoons
I said tell me mama, tell me cause I don't know
Do you know where your priests are
They're outside with the kids you left alone in the sun too soon
I said tell me mama, tell me cause I don't know
I said tell me mama, tell me cause I don't know
Whatever happened to that classic story
The girl meets the boy and everybody's saved in the end
I said tell me mama cause I don't understand
Whatever happened to that classic tale
Where everything's down and nothing's on the mend
I said tell me mama cause I don't understand
I said tell me mama, tell me mama
Tell me mama cause I don't understand
I said tell me mama, I said tell me mama
Tell me mama, tell me mama, cause I don't understand
Don't you wish you'd saved me back there
Don't you wish you'd saved me back there
Don't you wish you'd saved me back there
Saved me back there, saved me back there
I said tell me mama, tell me mama
I said tell me mama
I said tell me mama cause I don't understand
