This is how the song was sung in Two Sisters From Boston with Kathryn Grayson, June Allison, Peter Lawford and Jimmy Durante. It was sung by the chorus girls at the Golden Rooster, a Bowery saloon, where Kathryn Grayson and Jimmy Durante work.

G'WAN HOME YOUR MUDDER'S CALLIN'
(words Ralph Freed. Music, Sammy Fain)

We're Peggys and Pollys
We don't play with dollies
We're part of a gang on our street.
And when all the rough guys
Pretend to be tough guys
We don't call the cop on the beat.
We each one of us takes our place
And tells them right off to their face

G'wan home yer mudder's callin
Yer Fadder fell into the garbage can.
G'wan home yer mudder's callin
They come to collect yer old man.

When boys try to date us
They soon learns to hate us
'Cause that sissy stuff is too tame.
They offer us sodas and strawberry floaters
But us kids are wise to their game.
Instead of a sock in the eye
We gives them the proper reply,

G'wan home yer Mudder's callin
Yer Fadder got caught in the wash machine.
G'wan home yer Mudder's callin
She can't get the laundry out clean.

One day me sweet Mudder
Said fetch yer big Brudder
He ain't shown since yesterday noon.
So I makes a beeline
As fast as a feline
To old man McGinty's saloon
And just as I peeks thru the door
The bouncer he spots me and roars,

G'wan home yer Mudder's callin
Yer Fadder fell into the garbage can.
G'wan home yer Mudder's callin
They come to collect yer old man.
