(Mother-in-law) mother-in-law
The worst person I know, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law
She worries me so, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law
She thinks her price is right, if she'd leave, that would be all right
And didn't come back no more
She worries me so, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law
She thinks her price is right, if she'd leave, that would be all right
And didn't come back no more
(Mother-in-law) mother-in-law

(Mother-in-law) mother-in-law
You know, Satan should be her name, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law
'Cause to me, they're about the same, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law
Every time I open my mouth, she tries to turf me out
How could she stoop so low?
'Cause to me, they're about the same, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law

Every time I get my pay, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law
She asks me how much have I made, (mother-in-law) mother-in-law
She thinks her price is right, if she'd leave, that would be all right
