When you get a chance would you please call your mother

    C                                    G7
And thank her for the good years that we had

C                                    F
Gently break the news that you don't love me

    C            G7                       C
And give my best regards to your good old dad


                           F
I always liked your family we got along just splendidly

       C                                        G7
Though your brother kind of rubbed me the wrong way

  C
I remember that your eyes turned green

     F
When they crowned your sister County Queen

       C                                  G7         C
Though she couldn't hold a candle to your beauty any day

Back when we could laugh and play on family reunion day

C                                     G7
Didn't we all look funny in our 1950s clothes

     C                            F
Your daddy wore that greasy stuff your brother drank more than enough

     C                           G7             C
Your mom wore penny loafers with runners in her hose
