(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)

The worst person I know
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
She worries me so
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
If she leave us alone
We would have a happy home
Sent from down below
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)

Satan should be her name
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
To me they're about the same
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
Everytime I open my mouth
Steps in, tries to put me out
How could she stoop so low
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)

(Instrumental Break)

I come home with my pay
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
She ask me what I made
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
She thinks her advice is a constitution
But if she would leave that should be the solution
And don't come back no more
(Mother-in-law, mother-in-law)
My-y-y-y (mother-in-law)
(Mother-in-law........FADE)
