Oh Mom, the old man is telling me something
Oh Mom, orang tua itu memberitahuku sesuatu
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
Matanya lebar dan mulutnya tipis
And I just can't hear what he's saying
Dan aku tidak bisa mendengar apa yang dia katakan

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
Oh Mom, aku bertanya-tanya kapan aku akan bangun
It's just that there's so much to do
Hanya saja ada banyak hal yang harus dilakukan
And I'm tired of sleeping
Dan aku bosan tidur

Oh Mom, the kids are playing in pennies
Oh, Mom, anak-anak bermain sen
They're up to their knees in money
Mereka berlutut dengan uang
And the dirt of the churchyard steps
Dan kotoran dari tangga gereja

Oh Mom, that man he ripped out his lining
Oh Mom, pria itu dia merobek lapisannya
He tore out a piece of his body
Dia merobek sepotong tubuhnya
To show us his “clean quilted heart”
Untuk menunjukkan kepada kita “hati berlapis bersih”

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
Oh Mom, aku bertanya-tanya kapan aku akan bangun
It's just that there's so much to do
Hanya saja ada banyak hal yang harus dilakukan
And I'm tired of sleeping
Dan aku bosan tidur

Oh Mom, the bird on the string is hanging
Oh Mom, burung di tali itu tergantung
Her bones are twisting and dancing
Tulang-tulangnya berputar dan menari
She's fighting for her small life
Dia memperjuangkan nyawanya yang kecil

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
Oh Mom, aku bertanya-tanya kapan aku akan bangun
It's just that there's so much to do
Hanya saja ada banyak hal yang harus dilakukan
And I'm tired of sleeping
Dan aku bosan tidur

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
Oh Mom, aku bertanya-tanya kapan aku akan bangun
It's just that there's so much to do
Hanya saja ada banyak hal yang harus dilakukan
And I'm tired of sleeping
Dan aku bosan tidur
