[Verse 1]
Mama's got a lover
A painter I am told
She's getting out of real estate
For the art scene down in old Soho
Art scene down in old Soho
[Verse 2]
Mama's got a lover
He owns a gallery
She says he likes collages but
The money's in graffiti
Money's in graffiti
[Chorus]
Mama's got a lover
I met him yesterday
She says she hopes I like him
Maybe I'll send him a card on Father's Day
Father's Day
[Verse 3]
Mama's got a lover
They're backing a film
It's about a working mother
Who gives birth to black and white Siamese twins
Black and white Siamese twins
[Verse 4]
Mama's got a lover
He's got something to say
He says he's into dirt and rot
The essence of "urban decay"
Urban decay
[Chorus]
Mama's got a lover
We met yesterday
She says she hopes I like him
I'll send him a card on Father's Day
On Father's Day
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Mama's got a lover
I met him yesterday
She's starting a new chapter
I wish she was on the last page
The last page
[Chorus]
Mama's got a lover
We met yesterday
She says she hopes I like him
I'll send him a card on Father's Day
Father's Day
[Outro]
Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)
Ooh, Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)
Oh oh, Mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)
My mama's got a lover (Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
(Mama's got a lover)
