[Verse 1]
Mother, may I take a teeny step toward love
Mother, may I gamble with the stars above
I know I will find my little turtle dove
Yes, you may now (Tch-chu-wa-wa)
Better that you make a start, oh yeah (Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
Hope some girl don't come along and break your heart, oh yeah (Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
(Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
If you find one, pray that you'll never part (Tch-chu-wa-wa)

[Bridge]
Mother, may I take a baby step and see
I won't budge now as long as you'll be kind to me

[Verse 2]
Mother, may I take a giant step real slow (Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
(Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
I'll be careful, I've only got one step to go (Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
(Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
I'm not worried, she lovеs me and I love her so (Tch-chu-wa-wa)

[Bridge]
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh

[Verse 3]
Goodbyе, son now (Tch-chu-wa-wa)
It's better that you follow one, oh yeah (Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
I'll be happy as long as you're not on the run, run, run (Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
Take your step, but remember what I told you son (Tch-chu-wa-wa, tch-chu-wa-wa)
[Outro]
Take your step, but remember what I told you son, yeah (Tch-chu-wa-wa)
Take your step, but remember what I told you son, oh, oh yeah
Take your step, but remember what I told you son
(Get on the ground. We're gonna beat him)
