And if that child molester won’t molest  
Mama’s gonna buy you the game of “Quest”  
And if that game of “Quest” ain’t fun  
Mama’s gonna make another beer run

And if that beer has gone skunky  
Mama’s gonna buy you a howler monkey.  
If that monkey won’t fling enough poo,  
Mama’s gonna take it to the zoo.

And if that zoo is all locked up  
Mama’s gonna buy you a iron cup.  
And if that iron cup cuts your peepee  
Mama’s gonna buy you an antique teepee.

Mama’s gonna buy you a tommy gun
