But mother, what a way to go
And what would she say if she knew?
Na, na, na, na you're just a bad boy
But father was there outside
I grabbed my shoes and daily news
I know that mother disagrees
Na, na, na, na they'll drive you mad, boy
I should of heeded mother's words
Na, na, na, na you're just a bad boy
But what if she'd walked in and caught us?
With no place to run and hide
Na, na, na, na you're just a bad boy
But I would really like to see you again
He looked most upset as he said
Who, who, who?
The way that she talked, you'd think I was a daughter
Do you think she'd have been shocked?
Who, who, who?
She said, she'd heard it, said, you were a naughty girl
But still I can hear them all say
Anyway, the door was locked
Then meet me in the bushes at the river bend
Who, who, who?
Na, na, na, na they'll drive you mad, boy
And no one will find us out
I looked out as the sun came up
But what does a mother know
"Where've you been?"
Who, who, who?
And walked out in the heat beneath the summer sun
I shook my head and said, I really should be gone
Who, who, who?
Na, na, na, na they'll drive you mad, boy
Who, who, who?
'Cause no one will be about
But mother, what a way to go
That we really need to know?
And if you want to see me too
