Lyrics
Please, Mister, take me in your car
I want to se Mamma
They say she lives in Heaven
Is it very, very far?
My new Mamma is very cross
And scolds me every day
I guess she does not love me
For I’m always in the way
CHORUS
Always in the way
So they always say
I wonder why they don’t kiss me
Just the same as sister May
Always in the way
I can never play
My own Mamma would never say
I’m always in the way
Verse 2:
The ride it ended all to soon
She toddled off alone
A light shone from a window
And she peeped into the room
Please tell me is this Heaven, Ma’am
And will they let me stay?
Forever, child, for this is home
And you’re not in the way
