Yeah

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)
