Subject: Lyr Add: MAMA FROM THE TRAIN (A KISS, A KISS)
And now, the parody, transcribed from YouTube:

MAMA FROM THE TRAIN (A KISS, A KISS)

Throw Mama down the stairs her hat o' blue.
Without her so well I can do.
Your old clothes next time you throw away,
Mama, in them won't you stay?

When our honeymoon started, it started all wrong,
All because my wife's mother just had to tag along.
On the train my wife asked me, "What's ailin' you, dear?"
So I pulled her up closer and yelled in her ear:

"Throw Mama from the train but quick, quick, quick.
That big tub o' lard makes me sick, sick, sick.
Throw Mama from the train her pogo stick,
And give her for me one swift kick."

I can see my wife's mother as she sits there just squirms,
And her face it resembles a plate full o' worms.
As she "sprechen sie Dutch" with a slight southern drawl,
When she sprechens to me, I say, "Ja, ja, you-all."

Throw Mama down the stairs her coat and hat,
And open for Mama the door.
Carry Mama to the station all her bags,
And maybe back she'll come no more.
