A New Brain - Mothers Gonna Make Things Fine Lyrics

(Written by William Finn)

MIMI
Sweetheart!

GORDON
Mother!

MIMI
Mother's gonna file her nails
Mother's gonna stay serene
What I mean
Is she'll protect you-hey!
I'm bringing you a new day-yes
Today will be a new day
And even though it shits
Mother's gonna fix things
Try to keep your wits
Mother's gonna make things fine

GORDON
Ugh! Ma...

MIMI
In the darkest of dark despair
I'll be found
Sitting there

GORDON
Ma!
If you want me to say life's fair
That is something can't say

MIMI
Anyway
Mother's gonna drink champagne
Ma will help you beat the odds
She'll explain
Why she's so damn blasй
Because I'm bringing you a new day-yes
I'm welcoming a new day!
And mother will protect
Mother's gonna fix things
Anything that's wrecked
Mother's gonna make things fine

GORDON
Ma-a-a-a!

MIMI
Yes! I'm bringing you a new day

GORDON
She's bringing me a new day

MIMI
Yes, yes! Yes, a fabulous anew day!

GORDON
A fabulous anew day

BOTH
And mother will protect
Mother's gonna fix things
Anything that's wrecked
Mother's gonna make things fine
