Mommy mommy, I love you dearly
Please tell me how in french
My friends used to call me ?
Paule, Lise, Pierre, Jacques ou Louise
Groulx, Papineau, Gauthier
Ferron, Robichaud, Charbonneau

Mommy mommy, how come it’s not the same
Oh mommy mommy, what happened to my name
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late
Its too late

Mommy mommy, I love you dearly
Please tell me where we used to live in this country
Trois-Rivières, St-Marc, Grand-Mère
Gaspé, Dolbeau, Berthier
St-Paul, Tadoussac, Gatineau

Mommy mommy, how come it’s not the same
Oh mommy mommy, there’s so much in a name
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late
Much too late

Mommy mommy, I love you dearly
Please sing the song you sang when I was a baby
Fais do-do, cola mon p’tit frère
Fais dodo, mon p’tit frère fait do-do tu auras du lolo

Mommy mommy, I remember the song
Oh mommy mommy something seems to be wrong
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late
Much too late

Mommy mommy, I love you dearly
Please tell me once again that beautiful story
Un jour, ils partirent de France
Bâtir ici quelques villages, une ville, un pays

Mommy mommy, how come we lost the game ?
Oh mommy mommy, are you the one to blame ?
Oh mommy, tell me why it’s too late, too late
Much too late
