The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Oh dang
What is it dawg?
I forgot it's Mother's Day
Didn't get a gift for her
Other plans got in the way
She'll be so disappointed
Damn I forgot it too
This could have been avoided
What the hell are we gonna do?
My moms been so forlorn
Ever since my daddy left (cold)
No one to hold her tight
Life has put her to the test
I know just what you mean
My mom been so sad and gray (word)
My dad can't satisfy her in the bedroom ever since he passed away
Hold up
You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
I'm thinkin' I'm thinkin' too
Slow up
What time is it dawg?
It's time for a switcharoo
We both love our moms, women with grown women needs
I say we break 'em off
Show 'em how much they really mean
'Cause I'm a mother Lover
You're a Mother Lover
We should fuck each others mothers
Fuck each others moms
I'll pushin' in that lady, you came out as a baby
Ain't no doubt that shit is crazy
Fuckin' each others moms
'Cause every Mother's Day needs a Mother's Night
If doing it is wrong, I don't wanna be right
I'm callin on you cause I can't do it myself
To me you're like a brother, so be my mother lover
I'm layin' in the cut waitin' for your mom
Clutchin' on this lube and roses
I got my digital camera
I'm gonna make your momma do a million poses
They will be so surprised
We are so cool and thoughtful
Can't wait to pork your mom
I'm gonna be the syrup, she can be my waffle
Sho nuff
My mother loves bubble bath with chamomile
Straight up
Give it to my mom d-d-d-d-d-d-doggystyle
This the perfect plan
For a perfect Mother's Day
They'll have to rename this one
All up under the covers day
'Cause I'm a mother Lover
You're a mother Lover
We should fuck each others mothers
Fuck each others moms
I'm pushin' that lady
Where you came out as a baby
Ain't no doubt that shit is crazy
Fuckin' each others moms
Break it down
It would be my honor to be your new step-father
It would be my honor to be your new step-father
And while your in my mother, make me another brother
And while, I'm in your mother, I'll never use a rubber (oh)
'Cause every Mother's Day, needs a Mother's Night (yeah-ayy)
If doing it is wrong, I don't wanna be right
I'm callin' on you 'cause I can't do it myself
To me you're like a brother, so be my mother lover
They blessed us both with the gift of life (oh-oh)
She brought you in this world so I'ma sex her right
This is the second best idea that we've ever had (ah-ah)
The choice can be no other
Be my mother lover
Happy Mother's Day
