Lyrics

(Mother in law)

Mother in law

(Mother in law)

Mother in law

The worst person I know

(Mother in law, mother in law)

(Mother in law, mother in law)

A she worries me, so

If she'd leave us alone

A we would have a happy home

Sent from down below

Mother in law, mother in law

Satan should be her name

To me they're bout the same

Every time I open my mouth

She steps in, tries to put me out

How could she stoop so low

I come home with my pay

She asks me what I made

She thinks her advice is the constitution

But if she would leave that would be the solution

And don't come back no more

Mother in law

My mother in law, ah

Oh, yeah
