(Oo-oo-oo-ooh)
Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know (know)
Sing it again
Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know (know)
Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know (kno-ow)
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know (kno-ow)
Sing it again
Daa-da da-daa da-daa-daa-da-da
Da-daa-da daa da-daa daa daa-da-da-daa
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know (yeah)
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know (yeah)
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know (yeah)

| Sasha2001 (Running from Zombies) | Posted: Jan 26, 2011 - 16:43 It's the Paul stuff that gets us interested in the Beatles when we're children. But it's the John stuff that turns us on to serious music when we're adolescents and adults. Finally, when we're old, Paul's stuff makes us nostalgic for our youth. A band for all seasons. |

| Rooney (Near Paradise) | Posted: Sep 22, 2010 - 08:58 I like Paul and his cutesy stuff. I also like his other stuff. I can't imagine to be creatively intense your whole life through, and never want to fluff things up a little. I like this song. I used to sing it to my mother and she laughed, which is a good thing. A nine baby, a nine. |

Too fluffy, too catchy. I like their more substantial songs (the more John or George centered stuff). I know I'm in the minority. In the minority maybe, but not alone. Certainly not alone. |
| shawshank (Maryland) | Posted: Jul 20, 2010 - 06:51 I agree with John Lennon on this being, "Paul's granny crap...".  |

| valtouf (Here, there and everywhere) | Posted: Jun 18, 2010 - 10:22 My baby was born 3 days ago. Listening to this song on RP, I just realized that if I sing Let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born... It becomes recursive ! :)  |
| nini (Bahgdad by the Bay) | Posted: Jun 18, 2010 - 10:02 Happy Birthday Paul!! |

Kind of catchy and non-threatening, like something they would use in an iPhone commerical. John Lennon referred to this type of writing by Paul as his "granny shit". A real miracle of cooperation that those two were able to collaborate at all, and to such wonderful result. |

Kind of catchy and non-threatening, like something they would use in an iPhone commerical. Judging by your comment, I'd guess you were born a substantial amount of time after this song was released, especially if you "don't see how some people give it a 9 or 10 (or 1 or 2)". The anachronistic use of a 21st-century product as a point of reference for a song that was released in 1967 is also somewhat telling. The song, however, is a "catchy and non-threatening" tune, like the majority of Paul McCartney's work could be said to be. I guess in response to your wondering why there are such high ratings: I think it's because a lot of the listeners here have heard and enjoyed this song since they were young and the song was "new". Anyhow, I am not trying to engage in any sort of "age-discrimination" attacks, I was just making a less-than-astute observation. |

The song is profound with its prescience about time passage... poetic, with a catchy tune... it is timeless, like Shakespeare... |

| shawshank (Maryland) | Posted: Jun 04, 2009 - 10:50 Was this song ever released in true stereo? |

| akmegan | Posted: Jun 04, 2009 - 10:49 My mother DID know! That's why I grew up listening to the Beatles! Good on ya mom!!  |
| erichb | Posted: Jun 04, 2009 - 10:49 I'm shocked this is the 1st time this song has been played on RP. A personal favorite of mine from MMT. |
| palexis (Palo Alto, CA) | Posted: Jun 04, 2009 - 10:48 First time?? What a great song, a worthy addition to the ever expanding RP playlist. Thanks. |
