I know you moms are going to be so happy
with this song. I'm not sure if the daughters
are going be happy.

Daughter looked in mother's eyes and bleated,

long long time
A
hmm an eyebrow piercing that's a per

E
When you're old and gray, my dear,
Bm
you'll think back and be glad
A
That your mother had the foresight
Bm
to turn down your request
E
Sometimes mother really

Just a tiny tattoo,
E
mother, dancing on my skin
All the other kids have one,

B
Till the daughter overheard the mother

Oh, a facelift, mother?
A
That's a permanent reminder
Bm
of a tem porary fear.
E
Only the lucky ones grow

It could have a beautiful, uplifting,
wholesome ending
where everyone learns lessons of
self -acceptance
E
and go on to lead happy, lives.
Or it could go to the dark side.
I will decide based on your applause.
Who would like the
wholesome ending?
Who wants the dark side?
Bbm
You asked for it.
Mother said to daughter, okay,
Though your words stung

If you let me get my facelift,

you can get that tattoo now

I'll even let you pierce your brow

And the daughter's tattoo went just fine,

for our foolish vanity.
And at the reading of their will,

Thank you so much.

My team loves the opera.
And I love theatre.
I follow the literature. I follow the history.
