Very soon I will be
In the deep blue sea, wrapped in chicken wire
By my own device
The navy'll come, the sharks will bite
It will be so hard to fight
Wrapped in chicken wire
By my own device
Oh, mama, don't go
Don't leave me alone
Play it
ย
Wall to wall, the carpet crawls
Up the stairs and down the hall
To the invalid
In his dying bed
Upon the floor the guests will step
And everyone will leave except the invalid
In his dying bed
Oh, mama, don't go
Don't leave him alone
ย
The maid'll call the ambulance
As the children dance to Billie Jean
By the neighbor's fence
The medics'll come, haul him away
And as they leave they'll sweetly say
"I'm sorry, ma'am
But it's for the best"
Oh, mama, don't go
Don't leave me alone
