Call Your Mother Once a Day

Call your mother once a day
Or she will hunt you down.
She’ll send out scouts
Enlist the cops and a sniffing hound

Call your mother once a day
Or you’ll be sad to see
A video of you on the news
And on a milk carton your picture will soon be.

Call your mother once a day, daughter,
Or your life will have less laughter.
You think getting married will stop her?
No. Now she has two of you to go after.
