They used to call her Mary
But then they took the "R" away
She wanted to be a flapper, you see
With a cute little name like May
A young man came romancin'
And in a year they called him "Pa"
So, they took the "Y" away from May
And now they call her "Ma"
They used to call her Mary
But then they took the "R" away
She wanted to be a flapper, you see
With a cute little name like May
A young man came romancin'
And in a year they called him "Pa"
So, they took the "Y" away from May
And now they call her,
What do they call her?
Now they call her "Ma"
