First, the original lyrics copied from LyricsDownload.com:

MAMA FROM THE TRAIN (A KISS, A KISS)
Irving Gordon

Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Wave mama from the train a goodbye
Throw Mama from the train a kiss, a kiss,
And don't cry, my baby, don't cry.

How I miss that sweet lady with her old-country touch,
Miss her quaint broken English called Pennsylvania Dutch.
I can still see here there at the station that day,
Calling out to her baby as the train pulled away:

"Throw Mama from the train a kiss, a kiss,
Dry Mama all your tears won't you try?
Throw Mama from the train a kiss, a kiss,
And eat mama up all her pie.

Can't believe that she's gone now. it's a lonely old town,
Yet I know that her heavenly love keeps looking down,
'Cause whenever I happen to be passing through,
I could swear she was there with the warmth I once knew.

And I
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss,
Wave mama from the train a goodbye,
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss,
And she throws one back from up high.

[As recorded by Patti Page, 1956.]

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.

[Homer & Jethro, "Songs to Tickle Your Funny Bone," Camden LP 948, 1966.]
