Your mom's alright
Your mom's alright
Your ass is grass
And I'm a lawnmower
You dandelion
I am a sunflower
This darkest night
This veil of no hope
You piece of tape
Here comes a Post-It note
Yeah
Your mom's alright
Your mom's alright
Your ass is grass
And I'm a lawnmower
Incense and joss
I am a leaf-blower
Through scallions
I am the sour cream
Bring forth the froth
I am the hot steam
Your mom's alright
Your mom's alright
Pop rock (bongos)
Pop rock (bongos)
Pop rock (bongos)
Your ass is grass
Not least the east wing
Unfactual
Ungrease the peace thing
Some paper doll
Some super-fast car
Some onion roll
Some mayonnaise jar
Yeah
Your mom's alright
Yeah
Your mom's alright
Yeah
Your mom's alright
Your mom's alright
Alright (yes!) (x32)
