Mother Called From The Mediterranean

Mother goes to exotic locations
She’s seen ‘em all
She’s seen ‘em all
But she never fails on important occasions
To put in a long distance call

Mother called from the Mediterranean
She’s on Capri
In Italy
And she asked me if it was snowing or raining
She’d so like to be home with me

Oh and nobody means more to me than Mother does
‘Cause Mother does so much
Oh nobody means more to me than Mother does
But Nanny means so much

Then it’s zippety jingle and dashaway ping
Hang holly in the hall
Tie tassels on the thermostats
Write greetings on the walls
Then its zippety jingle and dashaway ping
Anything at all
I’m absolutely glad that Mother calls

Mother called – said she’d sent me a bonnet
I knew she’d call
I knew she’d call
It’s more of a cartwheel hat with earpuffs on it
Oh and card to us all

Oh and nobody means more to me than Mother does
Cause Mother does so much
Oh nobody means more to me than Mother does
But Nanny means so much

Then its zippety jingle and dashaway ping
Hang holly in the hall
Tie tassels on the thermostats
Write greetings on the walls
Then its zippety jingle and dashaway ping
Anything at all
I’m absolutely glad that Mother calls
