My Mother My Dead Mother Lyrics
The cat's out the bag
And the old bag's in the attic
I'm effing and jeffing
They used to be so romantic
Hanging out the bunting
And someone had a [???]
On the blower to the man from Tatler
My mother, and her dead mother
Their father cried
As he placed a ring on the finger
Of each of the brides
Wear it forever
He said, you look just like my dead wife
If there could be another
There's not a dry eye
For my mother, and her dead mother
My mother insists that the cats in the yard
Are well-fed, though they may show signs of wear and tear
My dead mother insists, and she insists, and she insists
That spring may come a little late this year
Duchess's hours are long
Please move along 'cos there's nothing going on
Pretty as peaches
Would hold us [???]
The love that dare not speak
My mother, and her dead mother
Cackling with inbreds
Over mahjong [???]
[???]
But they're halfway up the elbow
Halfway up the elbow
My mother, and her dead mother
My mother, and her dead mother
And the old bag's in the attic
I'm effing and jeffing
They used to be so romantic
And someone had a [???]
On the blower to the man from Tatler
My mother, and her dead mother
As he placed a ring on the finger
Of each of the brides
Wear it forever
If there could be another
There's not a dry eye
For my mother, and her dead mother
Are well-fed, though they may show signs of wear and tear
My dead mother insists, and she insists, and she insists
That spring may come a little late this year
Please move along 'cos there's nothing going on
Would hold us [???]
The love that dare not speak
My mother, and her dead mother
Over mahjong [???]
[???]
But they're halfway up the elbow
Halfway up the elbow
My mother, and her dead mother
