Lyrics
See, there's two ways of doing it: one on the piano and one on the
Guitar, you know. I just want to keep it, like, simple, as they
Say in France, so I'm not quite sure. Oh, and that's another thing
You see, I want to put this bell on the beginning of it, so I'd
Have to go "bong, bong," so I don't know how the fuck we did that
All you have to do is count it in and then just do, do that
You know, and then you can put it on another track like we
Go "bong, bong, bong" like that? It's just, by the time I've
Counted it and, and taught and all that, I've forgotten what
I'm doing, you know. Is there some way we can count back and just
Put that bell on some other time, Philip? 'Cause I get too confused
I must just get in the mood, not all that technical shit
We, we do theโ on the "mama don't go" there
Yeah
On the "daddy come home," we don't do anything
Yeah, yeah
Then we do it on that every time
Yeah, Iโ the only reason I do it is 'cause I can't play and sing
It, so you follow me. Do everything I do. I go "Mama, don't go
" If you can hear the piano. So think of that tune, I think of
That in my head, too, instead of the "mommy." Don't follow that
Follow "bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom."
Mama, come home
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, comeโ like that, you see
You know, I started with doing "bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom,"
And later on I was doing "bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom," which was
Yeah, that's better. That's, that's it, the one that pushes it
That's better
Yeah. And sometimes I go
Two, three, four
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't want, and I tried to run
Could you just doโ try it without the hi-hat for a
Bit? I know it sounds good on the finished result
Yeah
But it throws me a little when I'm very quiet
Okay, you still want those in?
Oh, yes, yes. It's just, uhโ just try it
Mother, you had me, but I never had you
Why have we all stopped?
I'm sorry
I wanted you, but you didn't want me
Fuck your boots. I'm too conscious of things now, you know
I'll be honest, of that sort of mood, like, hearing piano
Hearing voice. See, I'm justโ I'm not used to playing with rhythms
And that, I have to sort of tune into people playing and that
Suddenly realize that there's other people playing, too. It's
Hard to keep believing it all the way through, that's the problem
You know, keeping it all the way through without being on junk
Oh, mama
Well, if you don't want to, I'll do it on guitar
I'd like to dedicate this number to all the mommies in the world
Mother, you had me, but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just gotta tell you goodbye
Klaus, you are the Plastic Ono Band
Hit it
There's something, when you start playing
I have to, I somehow have to alter my piano playing
Do you know what I mean?
You have to get stiffer, anyway
I've got five thumbs
I expected to finish the album by now, you know?
It's not right
I'm very disappointed
Very disappointed indeed
Let's pretend we've just had a joint
Like in 1958
You're on tape, dear
Hey, uh
Well, if I'm gonna be the only one that has it
I mean, I'm crazy enough
Maybe, is there some other way of drumming it then
That it doesn't go tick-tock?
Soon as it gets rhythmic, I go to pieces
There's no feeling, you know
It like goes mechanical
Okay, but take it anyway, you fuck-faced bastard
Dot-fucked-piss
Just remember, Mother, Father, Children
If you haven't heard Children, you're not living
And it's great if you don't listen to you too much
Yeah, I find that too
Okay
It's ten to five somewhere in the universe
Mother, you had me
But I never had you
Oh, I wanted you
You didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
