Mommy Mommy You Better Listen: Please Don't Let Me Die

( words)
*For representational purpose only.

Mommy mommy listen listen,
Mommy mommy you better listen!

Please don't let me die,
Cause I really want to fly.
You know I love you,

And I really wanna make it through.

Tell the doctor to put down the blade,
Please don't send me to the place.
Where everything is painted red,
Where everything is scary.

I promise I'll take care of you,

Whenever you're not well.
I promise I'll be there with you,
Whenever you feel bad.

Tell papa that I love him too,
That I wanna play with him too.

Though reasons are few,
And it's nothing new.

Tell daadi to be happy,
I promise I won't be boisterous.
Tell daada to calm down,

I promise I'll never roam in the town.

Please don't send me to the place,

Please tell the doctor to put down the blade.
