Hey Mom! Hey Mom!
I'm singing this song
'Cause my pants are too long
Would it trouble you much
To just trim them a touch?
My son, my dear son
Find your sister Sue
She'll know just what to do
And she'll shorten the cuffs
Of your long, long pants
Sister Sue! Sister Sue!
I'm singing this song
'Cause my pants are too long
Would it trouble you much
To just trim them a touch?
My brother, oh! Brother
Go find Aunt Marie
She's as kind as can be
She'll shorten the cuffs
Of your long, long pants
Aunt Marie, Aunt Marie
I'm singing this song
'Cause my pants are too long
Would it trouble you much
To just trim them a touch?
My nephew, oh! Nephew
When I'm sewing pants
I fall into a trance
I can't shorten the cuffs
Of your long, long pants
Grandpa? Grandpa!
I've been singing this song
'Cause my pants are too long
And no one will help!
No matter how much I yelp
Ah! my boy, listen to me
Your pants you will shed
At the foot of your bed
And then go to sleep
Without your long, long pants
Poor boy, my poor boy!
He sang me that song
'Cause his pants are too long
As his mom, it's a crime
That I can't find the time
Poor boy, my poor boy!
So while he's asleep
Into his room I'll creep
And I'll shorten the cuffs
Of his long, long pants
My brother! My poor brother!
He sang me that song
'Cause his pants are too long
Though he drives me insane
I should help just the same
Oh! Brother, poor brother
I'm his sister, I'm kind
And since he's in a bind
I'll go shorten the cuffs
Of his long, long pants
Nephew, dear nephew
He sang me that song
'Cause his pants are too long
If he's short and he's small
It's not his fault at all
Oh! Nephew, dear nephew
It's tedious work
But he's going berserk
So I'll shorten the cuffs
Of his long, long pants
Mom! Hey Mom!
Remember that song
'Bout my pants being too long?
In the night on my own
It appears that I've grown!
Hey Mom! Mom!
I'm afraid that I'll freeze
There's a breeze on my knees
Now I'm asking you please
Can you buy me some long pants?
