M is for the many times You made me O is for the other times You tried T is for those Tawdry Frat House weekends H is for my hope I'd be a bride E is for your everlasting Passin R is for the ruin you made of me Put them all together they spell Mother And thats just It seems I'm going to be.
F is for your funny little letter A is for the Answer to your note T is for the tearful sad occasion H is for your hope I'll be the goat E is for the ease with which I made you R is for the Rube you think I'll be Put them all together they spell Father But you'll never pin that label ,dear on me
