Cheers to mom
fond of that
longish skirt
so elegantly
Fifties-style
always sincere
Cheers to mom
Cheers to women
who are down to earth
the smiling postwar
girls
combed like her
Now angels dance rock
you're not a dream
You are true
Cheers to mom
'cause if I talk to her
you're not jealous
Cheers to mom
fond of that
longish skirt
always busy
and always convinced
sometimes a bit strict
Cheers to mom
Cheers to the fairy tale
Of the Fifties
so far yet
so modern
and so magic
Now angels dance rock
it's not a juke-box
but a real orchestra
Cheers to mom
'cause if I talk to her
you're not jealous
Oh mama mia mama mia
mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put
aside for me for me for me
Cheers to mom
fond of that
longish skirt
so elegantly
Fifties-style
and always sincere
Cheers to mom
Cheers to the good rules
and the good manners
those that I have never
been able to learn
perhaps because of rock
perhaps because of rock
perhaps because of rock
