Your Mother Should Know
Author: Paul McCartney; Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago,
Your mother should know (your mother should...)
Your mother should know (...know)

Sing it again,
Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should...)
Your mother should know (...know)

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago,
Your mother should know (your mother should...)
Your mother should know (ahhh)
Your mother should know (your mother should...)
Your mother should know (ahhh)

Sing it again,
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da da-da-da-da-da da-da da-da-da-da-da

Though she was born a long, long time ago,
Your mother should know (your mother should...)
Your mother should know (yeah)
Your mother should know (Your mother should...)
Your mother should know (yeah)
Your mother should know (your mother should...)
Your mother should know (yeah)
