George Formby – Mother What’ll I Do Now Chords

Mother you give good advice, always you mean well.
Now I need it more than ever I’m inside this cell.

I’m behind a prison wall,
the bed’s so hard and much too small
There’s no pijamas here at all,
Oh Mother what’ll I do now?

They told me they would treat me swell
tucked inside my little cell
But up to now it’s been like h !
Mother what’ll I do now?
We’re parted from each other and that’s too bad.
You’re my favourite Mother, Oh the best I ever had.

Tonight I’ve got a date you see
but they won’t let me have a key
And the Warder’s won’t wait up for me,
Oh! Mother what’ll I do now?

It’s hard to pass the time away,
I’m in a dangerous mood I say.
I’ve smoked two cigarettes today,
Oh! Mother what’ll I do now?

First I stand and then I sit,
then I sit and stand a bit
But I can’t stand much more of it,
Mother what’ll I do now?
We’re parted from each other and that’s too bad.
You’re my favourite Mother, Oh the best I ever had.

I got such an awful shock,
I asked the time for there’s no clock
And the Warder said six months “Old Cock
Oh! Mother what’ll I do now?

I order lunch from soup to sweet
but they forgot the fish and meat
And since the soup there’s nowt to eat,
Mother what’ll I do now?

I’ve had such a tummy ache.
All night long I’ve been awake.
Some castor oil they made me take,
Mother what’ll I do now?
We’re parted from each other and that’s too bad.
You’re my favourite Mother, Oh the best I ever had.

I’ve played Peter fly away Paul,
I’ve played tiddly winks and all
I’ve written rude words upon the wall,
Oh! Mother what’ll I do now?
