LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Mother
Tell your children not to burn the ham
Tell your children not to wreck your plans
What they broke, what they spilled mother
Mother
Can you keep them from the cake tonight?
Can you hide the keys to daddy’s ride?
Oh mother
Father
Gonna take our daughter out tonight
Gonna leave you my world
Oh father

[Chorus]
Not about to cook tonight
But if you wanna spend the day with mom
She can show you what it's like
Til you're screaming
Not about to clean tonight
And if you wanna spend the day with mom
She can show you what it's

[Verse 2]
Mother
Tell your children not to call my phone
Tell your children leave the couch alone
Oh mother
Father
Do you wanna build shelves with me?
Do you wanna grill everything?
Oh father

[Chorus]
Not about to cook tonight
But if you wanna spend the day with mom
She can show you what it's like
Til you're screaming
Not about to clean tonight
And if you wanna spend the day with mom
She can show you what it's
Like!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Not about to cook tonight
But if you wanna spend the day with mom
She can show you what it's like
Til you're screaming
Not about to clean tonight
And if you wanna spend the day with mom
She can show you what it's like

Woah
Mother
