Song

I love me mudder and me mudder love me
we come so far from over de sea
we heard dat de streets were paved with gold
sometime it hot sometime it cold,

I love me mudder and me mudder love me
we try fe live in harmony
you might know her as Valerie
but to me she is my mummy.


She shouts at me daddy so loud some time
she stays fit and she don't drink wine
she always do the best she can
she work damn hard down ina England,

She's always singing some kind of song
she have big muscles an she very very strong.
she likes pussy cats an she love cashew nuts
she don't bother with no ifs and buts.


I love me mudder and me mudder love me
we come so far from over de sea
we heard dat de streets were paved with gold
sometime it hot sometime it cold,

I love her and she love me too
and dis is a love I know is true
my family unit extends to you
loving each other is the ting to do
