The Tower of Pisa

Hey yo
Hey yo...
There was an old woman who sat in the tree
On the side of the road
The other side of the hill
There was a river rushing wild
With no time to say hello
And have you seen my daughter?
No time to say hello
Have you seen my son?
Please excuse me mister
No time to say hello
No time to say hello
No time at all
Please excuse mister
Have you seen my daughter?
Have you seen my daughter?
Have you seen my daughter?
Hexed by a wizard some years prior
She limps cross-eyed like the tower of pisa
She was born the prettiest of six girls
Now toothless can't even get a job
With no time to say hello
And have you seen my daughter?
No time to say hello
Please excuse mister
Have you seen my daughter?
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother (you seen)
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
