Lyrics
Chorus
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
It doesn’t matter if it rains or snows
My one ambition is to get the dough
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
What would Rockefeller give to have
An appetite like mine
Chorus
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
I say old boy, you can plainly see
The best thing for you is to twenty-three
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me
I was quite afraid some spooney girl
Would pin a rose on me
