What is the title of the song with these lyrics

[tigntaz]

Where's your mama gone
Little baby boy

Where's you mama gone
Far, far away

Last night I heard my mama singing a song
Woke up this morning and my mama was gone

Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep was no. 1 for Middle Of The Road in 1971.

How sad am I knowing that??????

[saxy_jag]

About as sad as me, Mrs O. This record being number one (or whatever it got to) was the first time ever that I became aware of the concept of pop charts.

[bensmum]

Sadly I knew that too :(

well mrs o, saxy & bensmum - we must all be around the same age (born early 60's?) - i rememer c.c.c.c. extremely well - i still know most of the lyrics 30 odd years later. I LOVED that song - in fact the next drunken kareoke I do, I shall see if that one's on it. Oh, nostalgia...
