D    C                              G
Ooh ah, Mother, should I build the wall?

Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?

Chorus:
 G                               C 
Hush now baby, baby, don't you cry.
 F                               C 
Mamma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true,
 F                             C 
Mamma's gonna put all of her fears into you,
 F                                  C 
Mamma's gonna keep you right here, under her wing.
     F                          C 
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing,
 F                       C        G
Mamma's gonna keep baby cosy and warm.
D     C 
Oooh babe,
D     C 
Oooh babe,
D              C 
Ooh baby, of course Mamma's gonna help build the wall.

Mother, do you think she's good enough–for me?
Mother, do you think she's dangerous–to me?
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother, will she break my heart?

Chorus:
Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mamma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mamma won't let anyone dirty get through
Mamma's gonna wait up until you get in
Mamma will always find out where you've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooh babe,
Ooh babe
Ooh babe
You'll always be baby to me

 G                             C 
Mother, did it need to be so high?
