Good morning son
Its off to school you go
Moms gone to work you know
Mom when are you coming home
Theres a bank robbery thats going on
Ooh this very morn
Moms gone to wrok for sure
Mom when are you coming home
Officers the bank is being held
By two gunmen that dont mean well
Moms on the job cant you tell
Mom when are you coming home
Mom when are you coming home
To see your son

Daughter dont be a policeman
Please be a school teacher instead
Youre so good with the children
Mom when are you coming home
Teacher please excuse these boys from class
Their mother gone from a gunshot blast
Another cop shot down on patrol
Mom when are you coming home
Mom when are you coming home
To see your son

The gangsters killed our mother dead
All is lost from our family
They tried to save our mom in vain
She drowned in blood and she was not saved
The bank is open and the robbers jailed
And mom wont be coming home
The way they run their world so wrong
How can us brothers get along
Mom when are you coming home
