Mother Knows Best Donna Murphy

[MOTHER GOTHEL, spoken]
You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...

(sung)
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
I know, but—

[MOTHER GOTHEL]
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

[RAPUNZEL, spoken]
But—

[MOTHER GOTHEL]
Shh!
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
