My momma says
You're doing yourself in
You're doing yourself in
Where should I begin?

My mother says
You burn the candle at both ends
Always out with all your friends
Burn the candle at both ends

You drink too much
You smoke too much
You stay up late each night
You're always in the pub after work
That you don't get up on time

It's a wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful life!
It's a wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful life!
Until the morning comes.
Until the morning comes.

My momma says
You're burning yourself out
I'm without no doubt
You're burning yourself out
My mother says
You're wasting your life away
You sleep through every day
You're wasting your life away
You drink too much
You smoke too much
You stay up late each night
You're always in the pub after work
That you don't get up on time

It's a wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful life
It's a wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful life
Until the morning comes.
Until the morning comes.

You'll never believe it
What happened this evening
The joke wasn't funny
I lost all my money
The policeman, he said
I detest you! In fact, I arrest you!
You drink too much
You smoke too much
You stay up late each night

It's a wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful life!
It's a wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful life!
Until the morning comes.
Until the morning comes.
