Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Calypso, 'Wife and Mother.'
Found the following:

Mother & Wife

If your mother and your wife were drowning
I want to know which one you would be saving
If your mother and your wife were drowning
I want to know which one you would be saving
Me, I'm holding onto my mother
My wife can be rescued - later

Cause I can always get another wife
But I can never get another mother in my life

I heard some foolish guys around the corner
Say that they'd rather their loveful wife than mother
I asked them the reason and this they answered
You can romance your wife but not your mother
My wife might be flourishing with gold and pearls
But my mother comes first in this blessive world

So I can always get another wife
But I can never get another mother in my life

I have one thing left to say
To compare your mother and your wife, well that's crazy
Cause your wife might be like a little lamb in front of you
And promise to be loving and loyal and true
But just go to your bathroom to sponge your face
On a return somebody else can take your place
