A baby was born in a small town yesterday
He's a magical child with a cosmic death ray
But his mother always wanted to play
Such a long way down

But mommy comes back
She always comes back to get me
Mommy comes back, she always comes back
She never will forget me now

The baby grows up and soon becomes a kid
Spends his whole life explaining the things
That his mother did, then they say she went
And drowned such a long way down

But mommy comes back
She always comes back to get me
Mommy comes back, she always comes back
She never will forget me now

When she came up, she'd looked better
"Look dear, I made you a sweater", yeah

Now, it's all done, they live up in Monticello with some
Pizza pockets, some papers and a case of mello-yellow
But don't go in cellar, such a long way, run when you hear
The cello, you're in for a long stay, hey, hey, hey, hey

But mommy comes back
She always comes back to get me
Mommy comes back, she always comes back
She never will forget me

Mommy comes back
She always comes back to get me
Mommy comes back, she always comes back
She never will forget me now
