Mother dear, mother dear, mother dear The sky is getting cloudy and it looks a lot like it might Start to rain so pick up your bag and your plastic mac While I phone your mother again to tell her we'll still come over (ring ring) Mother dear, it's nice to hear from you again Mother dear, don't speak now we'll be over as soon as we can Heading out the front door say good morning to the neighbours Passing by then it caught my eye the bus we needed the bus too that takes us right outside Mother dear it's nice to see you smiling face Again once more Mother dear the time ha flown and I'm afraid we'll have to go Waving from the window see that lonly look glistening In her eye as we head back home she is left alone till next week at the same time until the goodbye goodbye Mother dear, goodbye goodbye
