Mother Knows Best Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel!
[C]Look at you, as fragile as a flower
[Am]Still a little sapling, [D]just a sprout
[Dm]You know why we stay
up in this [G]tower[Abm]
That's [Am]right, to [D]keep you [F]safe and sound, dear
[C]Guess, I always knew this day was coming
[Am]Knew that soon you'd want to leave the [D]nest
[Fm]Soon, but not yet
Shh! [C]Trust me, [A]pet
[Dm]Mother [G]knows [C]best

[Verse 1]
[C]Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
[Dm]It's a scary [G]world out [C]there
[C]Mother knows best
One way or another
[Dm]Something will go [G]wrong, I [C]swear
[F]Ruffians, thugs, [Fm]poison ivy, quicksand
[Em]Cannibals and snakes, the [Am]plague
[D]Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
[Fm]Stop, no more, you'll [G]just upset me
[C]Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
[Dm]Darling, here's what [G]I sugg[C]est
[F]Skip the [Fm]drama
[Em]Stay with [A]mama [Dm]Mother [G]knows best
[C]Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino
[Am]Go ahead, get mugged
and left for [D]dead!
[Dm]Me, I'm just your mother,
what do [G]I know?
I [Am]only [D]bathed, and [Dm]changed, and
nursed [Fm]you
[C]Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
[Am]Let me die alone here, be my g[D]uest!
[Fm]When it's too late, you'll [Em]see, just [A]wait
[Dm]Moth[G]er knows b[C]est

[Verse 2]
[C]Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy

Sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy
[Dm]Please, they'll eat [G]you up a[C]live
[F]Gullible, naive, [Fm]positively grubby
[Em]Ditzy and a bit, well, [Am]hmm, vague
[D]Plus, I believe gettin' kinda chubby
