Leave me Alone

She's a force of nature - downgraded typhoon
Still her mind's a trap, tongue's a harpoon
She's as old as dirt - tender as a prune - oh Momma
She raised you fair - taught you how to fight
Brought you tummy meds in the middle of the night
Woke you up for school - wouldn't let you bail
Gave you back your room when your marriage failed
Now the table's turned and you're trying' to help.. good luck
Termites moving' in - Need your aspirin?
Looks like Momma's got a few choice words - you better duck
And Momma said
Leave me alone I wanna do it myself - I got 91 years on you
Leave me alone I don't want your help
Or your solicitudinous - phooey
I know you're whispering things behind my back
I don't care a whit - wouldn't waste a why
Leave me alone I wanna do it myself
You just stand back and watch me - that's sure to kill you
Way before I die
She takes 18 minutes to put on a shoe
You got a problem? I did it for you
Gotta repeat every thing THING you say to her face
But mumble under your breath - she hears each word in its place
Daddy's shirts are folded and ready-to-wear
He's gone 20 long years - get outta his chair
Comfortable stash in the bank - not a penny o' debt
Buys bruised fruit on the shelf - her rainy day ain't here yet
Mom the carpet's worn, the front shutter's cracked -
Back door's stuck
The kitchen sink is leaking - can I call a plumber..?
Momma's got a few choice words - you better duck
And Momma said
Leave me alone - I like it that way - you buttinsky
Leave me alone - go out in traffic and play
You're just a pain in my neck and your hair is a wreck
I know you're whispering things behind my back
I don't care a whit - Wouldn't waste a why
Leave me alone I like it that way
Don't just do something, sit there
That's sure to kill you - way before I die
I don't want your pity - I don't want to bathe
Butt out of my beeswax - go home to your cave
Overripe ain't pretty - and it don't behave
Stand back child - don't hover 'round my grave
And... leave me alone I wanna do it myself
I got 95 years on you
Leave me alone I don't want your help
....what was I saying?
I know you're whispering things behind my back
I don't care a whit - I wouldn't waste a why
Leave me alone I wanna do it myself
I'm having a senior moment
That's sure to kill you
Way before I die
Everybody sing!
Leave me alone I wanna do it myself
I got 95 years on you
Leave me alone I don't want your help - Period
I know you're whispering things behind my back
I don't care a whit - wouldn't waste a why
Leave me alone I wanna do it myself
Bye Bye now
Way before I die
And I ain't fixin' to die
