Verse 1
(C major) (D major) (G major) So you think you know
How to (F major) wipe your own nose
You (G major) think you know
How to (F major) button your clothes

If you (F major) hadn't already guessed (G major)
You're just a (C major) bump on the log of life, (D major)
Cause mother knows (G major) best
Verse 2
She tells (G major) everybody
She was (F major) born in a ditch
She (G major) back- combs her hair
Till she (F major) looks like a witch
(C major) Wolves in her train,
Ser (F major) pents suckle at her breast (G major)
(C major) Don't forget to wash behind your (D major) ears,
(D minor) Cause (D major) mother knows (G major) best

I'll have (D major) them all (G major) lobotomized,
