Mummy's Boy

Madness


In the pub, about seven thirty 
Mother makes sure that his face ain't dirty 
Him and mother go everywhere 
Holds her hand without a care 

Lived with mother for fourty years 
The neighbourhood said that he must be queer 
Normal folk just ain't like that 
Glad he can't hear behind his back 

When mother dies, he will have a cry 
'cos he'll be on his own 
He's frightened stiff, would it come to this? 
Will he lose her to the heavenly home?

Once went out with a London girl 
Dirty weekend in a hotel 
Broke it off when she got shirty 
She was twelve and he was thirty 

Right after that he was dead sore 
He wouldn't go out with girls no more 
From that day since, he never has 
He wants to do something dirty
