                             A (F7 E7 A)
I think I'd like to call you Mom 
                           F#m  B
'Cause you remind me of my mom 
                       Bm
I'm gonna go put on my sailor suit 
    Dm                  E
And we'll go out on the town  
                              A (F7 E7 A)
Why don't you let me call you that?
                              F#m  B 
You're acting so much like my mom 
                          Bm  
She didn't like it when I called her name 
Dm                  A
You and her are the same  

           B
When we go out
            D 
You'll know someone is there
         F#                      A 
You will feel someone staring at you
             D 
You're on my mind
     A              
As I dream of the game
          B 
Where I'm rolling a hoop
      E                                A (F7 E7 A)
And I turn around to find that you are gone 
                          F#m  B
Which was exactly like my mom 
                         Bm  
And I will go hang up my sailor suit
    Dm                   A 
And lie face–down on the lawn

                             A (F7 E7 A)
I see you moving towards the door
                             F#m  B
'Cause you don't trust me anymore 
                             Bm     
I need to find someone who's nice to me 
    Dm                   E
The way that you used to be
                            A (F7 E7 A)
And then I'm gonna call her You
                           F#m  B 
'Cause she'll remind me of you 
                         Bm
I'm gonna dress her in a sailor suit
Dm                   A 
That would look very cute  

           B
When we go out 
            D
She'll know someone is there
         F#                      A

Where she's rolling a hoop

And she turns around to find that I am gone
                           F#m  B 
Which was exactly like her mom 
                            Bm
