                             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

You will feel someone staring at you

     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

Which was exactly like my mom

                             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

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