"You Can Finally Meet My Mom" lyrics

"You Can Finally Meet My Mom"

Don't cry when I die
When it's my time, I probably won't die
I'll just lie down and close my eyes
And think about stuff
These eyes got too wide
Seeing too much of life's goodbyes
Should have spent less time making loot
Spent more time in my birthday suit with you

And everybody upstairs
Everybody downstairs
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them

'Cause I'll be hanging out with you
Not Jimi Hendrix, Jesus, or the dude
Who played the sheriff in Blazing Saddles
You, not Chris Farley, Mister Rogers
Oh, I've waited so long
You can finally meet my mom

Life is good, but love it's better
Even Bieber ain't forever
We all got to go you know
So you might as well go in style

Everybody praying
Everybody singing
I'm not gonna have time to hang out with them

'Cause I'll be hanging out with you
Not Gilda Radner, Buddha, or the dude
Who had Pop Rocks and soda at the same time
You, not Jesse James, Paul Newman
Oh, I've waited so long
You can finally meet my mom

I'm not making light of things
But who's to say who's right with things like this?
There's so much that we miss
Trying so hard to be rich and famous
Pretty and thin to win
It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young

So forget everything
And just be with me here now
For as long as we can
And whoever goes first save a spot

You, not Etta James, Bob Marley
Or the girls who won my heart along the way
You, not Sitting Bull, Ella or Bach
And I almost forgot
You can finally meet my mom
(You can finally meet my mom)
You can finally meet my mom
(You can finally meet my mom)
(You can finally meet my mom)

No Steve Jobs or Ty Cobbs
Al Capone or any other mobs
No Whitney Houston, no Chet Baker
André the Giant or the Undertaker, just you

You can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
You can finally meet my mom
