Never Throw a Lighted Lamp at Mother

Never Throw a Lighted Lamp at Mother

Never throw a lighted lamp at mother;
You never know when you can find another.
     And I'm sure you wouldn't wish to see
     Ma lit up like a Christmas tree
So never throw a lighted lamp at mother.

(Usually followed, on the streets of Brooklyn in the 1930's, at
least, by:)

Don't never trun rocks on yer mudder.
Don't never trun rocks on her head;
Don't never trun rocks on yer mudder
Trun bricks on yer fadder instead.
