Mother may I, mother may I Mother may I, oh oh oh Mother may I, mother may I Mother may I, oh oh oh He wanted to be like Marco Polo One foot on the rudder And the other on the shore Now he's been flying solo Everybody's seen everything Nothing undiscovered anymore He got as far as Little Rock Before his ship it sank and then he Drove another couple thirty miles On an empty tank Maybe for some folks Oh it's just the way it goes but he said Not me mama, ooh I'm going home He said I don't want memories To take the place of you And if I forget the way I felt Then maybe she will too So he, oh he called her on a payphone Singing mother may I come home Oh oh oh, mother may I Oh mother may I He wanted to feel like he was someone He started out a little step forward With a compass in his pack And it wasn't long Until he wrote a postcard saying Mother may I take a little step back He got as far as Little Rock Before he hit eject and as he Pulled the cord on his parachute thought Oh what did I expect Maybe for other folks Oh it's just the way it goes but he said Not me mama, I'm going home He said I don't want memories To take the place of you And if I forget the way I felt Then maybe she will too So he, oh he called her on a payphone And I don't want memories To take the place of you And if I forget the way I felt Then maybe you will too So he called her on a payphone Singing mother may I come home Ooh Come home Mother may I
