Meet the Mother
Unveiling Secrets: Meet the Mother Before the Bride's Kiss
Lyrics
You've got to meet the mother
You must meet the mother
Before you kiss the bride
Prior to kissing the bride
Before you take the longest ride
Before embarking on a significant journey
Before the rice and flowers fly
Before the celebration with rice and flowers
You've got to meet the mother
Reiteration: You must meet the mother
Before you kiss the bride
Reiteration: Before kissing the bride
See where she got those big brown eyes
Observe the physical traits of the mother
Those long, long legs, that sense of style
Reference to the mother's eyes, legs, and style
Or a streak of madness ten miles wide
Suggests a potential eccentric or unpredictable nature
You've got to meet the the mother
Reiteration: You must meet the mother
Before you kiss the bride
Reiteration: Before kissing the bride
You could discover the cruelty concealed deep within
Caution about hidden cruelty within the mother
As old as the hills and original sin
Reference to age-old flaws and original sin
Young man in love, take my advice
Advice for a young man in love
Make sure you meet the mother
Emphasis on meeting the mother before marriage
Before you kiss the bride
Reiteration: Before kissing the bride
Cause you might find her In the county jail
Warning about the mother possibly being in jail
Or a state run home in the driving hail
Reference to a challenging living situation
She could have two good teeth and one good eye
Physical description of the mother's condition
Be sure to meet the mother before you kiss the bride
Reiteration: Be sure to meet the mother before marriage
Cause some fruit rolls far, far from the tree
Metaphor about the influence of parental traits
But it still holds the same bad seed
Warning that negative characteristics may persist
So before that big fat knot is tied
Before committing to marriage
Hey man I know you really love her
Acknowledgment of love, but a caution about hidden traits
But she's a demon under cover
Description of the bride as a hidden demon
With a tendency to smother
Warning about the bride's tendency to suffocate or control
So don't lend money to her brother
Financial caution regarding the bride's brother
And make sure you meet the mother
Reiteration: Meet the mother before kissing the bride
Before you kiss the bride
Final emphasis on the importance of meeting the mother
