I've heavily made-up eyes
I'll be there in the mornin', if you have me back
Should you not recognize me
The rent up here is much too high
But it don't seem to worry me
Back home bad 'n ruin with my tail between my legs
Brother, you won't recognize me now, hello there
And I'll fall down off my plane
Your ugly worn-out son
I'll be early in the morning and I'll find my way back home
A room without a tap, hoo
Tail between my legs, and I'll be so tired
Mother, you won't recognize me now, hoo
Passport in my hand
Mother, you won't recognize me now, ooh, hoo
Momma, you won't recognize me now
Don't be embarrassed mother
I know my brother has done you proud
Mother, you won't recognize me now
I'm a burglar in the first degree
Mother, you won't recognize me now
By your ugly worn-out son, hmm
Mother don't you recognize me now ?
I'll be early tomorrow morning
So just let me warn you
And I'll be down on Cannon Street
So mother when you've seen me
Getting home, 'cause I failed you mother, hmm
For a room without a tap
I'll be so tired, so tired
I'll be so tired, now listen
Sister, you won't recognize me now
He's one foot in the grave
Don't forget I'm your boy too
