Mother Knows Best / In Here Songtext
von Scott & Ryceejo

You want to go outside?
Why, Rapunzel...
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
That′s right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It′s a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes
The plague
No!
Yes!
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here′s what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother knows best


The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It′s I alone who you can trust in this whole city
I am your only friend
Trust me Quasi
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
I who look upon you without fear
How can I protect you, boy, unless you
Always stay in here, away in here
Remember what I've taught you, Quasimodo
You are deformed
And you are ugly
And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity
You do not comprehend
Out there they′ll revile you as a monster
Out there they will hate and scorn and jeer
Why invite their calumny and consternation?
Stay in here
Be faithful to me
Grateful to me
Do as I say, obey
And stay in here
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, underdressed
Immature, clumsy
Please, they′ll eat you up alive
Gullible, naïve
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin' kinda chubby
I′m just saying cause I wuv you
Mother understands
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel.
Quasimodo.
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again
Don′t forget it
You′ll regret it
Do as I say, obey (Do as I say, obey)
And stay in here (And stay in here)
