lyrics

We'll make room in our house for our mothers
fools of the obnoxious birds that mocked us
decorate our mantle with the feathers
room in our house for our mothers

the fish can't yell, his mouth too full of water
the sea won't help, don't see why it should bother
the wave wraps my neck just like a collar
if I go down, king Neptune gains a daugher

we'll make room in our house for our mothers
fools of the obnoxious birds that mocked us
decorate our mantle with the feathers
room in our house for our mothers

Isabella dressed in paisley
overturned her mother's pot of daisies
they each looked to the other in amazement
when they sprouted roots and grew right from the pavement

we'll make room in our house for our mothers
fools of the obnoxious birds that mocked us
decorate our mantle with the feathers
room in our house for our mothers

as they made room for knobby knees and hornet stings
and cleared off their bedside tables for photos and toys
that remind them of who you were
before you grew too old to remember

and I may leave before the dinner bell rings
and I don't know if I'll ever come back over
but here, in my house, where two birds of a feather, we stick well together
I'll always keep room for my mother
