Your Mother Should Know -- The Beatles

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 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 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 know  Your mother should know 
Sing it again.  Da-da-da-da.  Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know Your mother should know                                        (sing365)


McCartney wrote this in the dining room. His Aunty Jin, Uncle Harry, and other relatives were there, and he just sat and wrote it for a few hours with the door opened so they could all listen from another room. Paul said, "I was basically trying to say your mother might know more than you think she does. Give her credit." He also said that the family atmosphere and his Aunty Jin being there influenced it and its music-hall idea.      (songfacts)
